Perhaps the most memorable occasion was when I had been newly assigned to manage the master data management application which was experiencing production latency issues. Tim engaged in trouble-shooting with the team, made insightful suggestions, and helped devise a potential solution. We implemented in our load and performance environment where Tim stress-tested for the next 72 hours over what turned out to be a long weekend. The solution proved to be successful and was implemented on Monday... performance concerns mitigated!*! Thank you, Tim!*!-Jeff Coquyt, IT Manager, H&R Block "
