I worked with Kent on a major project in which he was the lead on UI and all things python, and I was his number 2. It was a little intimidating because Kent's knowledge on python, JavaScript, and CSS is so great, but he was always willing to sit with me and explain his techniques. I learned a ton from him during that project. Even when I wasn't on a direct team with Kent, he consulted with me on projects and trained me in python. He is the guy that people seek out to explain technical concepts or resolve technical bugs. He is also a lot of fun to have in the office!", and "Having spent nearly four years working with Kent, I can safely say he is one of the premier developers at the University of Texas. Through various projects, he has displayed impressive skills in multiple languages throughout the entire stack from UI to infrastructure. In addition to developing applications, he was one of the primary contributors to the project to integrate Python into our environment. In the training portion of this endeavor, Kent was my Python instructor. As a teacher, I found him to be thorough, conscientious and patient, which is something of a rarity in the CS world, especially for someone so deeply talented. To build his own skill set, Kent is continuously taking advantage of educational opportunities in advanced topics such as Machine Learning and AI. With his genuine interest in making himself and everything around him better, Kent is an invaluable asset to any organization he is a part of."
