Larry Cantrell is a Principal Engineer at Comcast. He possess expertise in virtualization, vmware, linux, perl, rhel and 13 more skills. Colleagues describe him as "When I worked with Larry, he was responsible for several of the most critical applications for providing Video On-Demand at Comcast, which was the largest revenue stream for the company. From a technical perspective, he has the rare collection of skills and knowledge that someone that has been successful at engineering both small and large companies. He is not afraid to try out new technologies and explore options on his own and he is also well versed in highly available enterprise level implementations. I was never able to find a single technology or topic that he didn’t have at least a solid familiarity and was always willing to share that information or help with research or implementation. He is confident in his abilities and skills without the slightest sense of arrogance and is always interested in learning. To say Larry "works well with others" is a huge understatement. He frequently collaborates and communicates effectively with development, QA, and multiple layers of management always tailoring the appropriate level of technical detail for the audience. Larry has a work ethic that is second to none. When he is not upgrading and improving his applications, he is constantly busy finding processes to improve or automate. He regularly writes and maintains scripts, tools, dashboards and metrics collections. Despite having one of the most customer visible/sensitive and actively updated/modified applications, he often volunteers to take on or help with new projects or troubleshooting of issues with teammates and other teams all while never impacting the quality of his work. Larry would be an amazing addition to any company that has the good fortune of his interest and I hope sincerely I have the opportunity to work with and learn from him again as soon as possible. " and "I was Larry's manager at AOL, and I believe that he was one of the best hiring decisions I ever made. He is a very determined, efficient, and effective Sys Admin who consistently produces outstanding results at a rapid pace. One of the things I admire most about Larry is that he is always very eager to learn, and he makes the most of every training opportunity by applying new skills to creatively solve real problems. As an example, after attending a Perl course, Larry created a configuration management tool that was used for managing updates to the back end application servers for MapQuest. I am happy to recommend Larry to any prospective employer, and would gladly work with him again in the future."
