Colleagues describe them as "I had the opportunity to work with Mike at Jive Software, where we both worked on the engineering team within the Professional Services organization. Due to the nature of the work in PS, we did not have many opportunities to work together directly, but did work together indirectly many times. At the root of my recommendation, I will say that Mike is the kind of person you can rely on. Stuck on a problem? Mike will be there. Have a question that makes you feel stupid? Mike will have the answer and dissuade your fears. Need solid technical delivery? You can count on Mike. I would not hesitate if I had the opportunity to work with him again. From a purely technical perspective, my experiences with the code Mike developed reflected a solid understanding of all concepts involved and, most importantly to me, was easy to follow and internalize. He also led the charge on multiple automation tools that eased the lives of fellow engineers. The Jive Professional Services engineering team is, without question, better off because of Mike's involvement.", "I have known Mike Masters since the start of his employment as a Senior Software Engineer at Jive Software in April 2013. I work as a Software Project Manager at Jive. Alongside myself, Mike was a member of the Professional Services department, responsible for delivering post-Sales development and consulting for Jive Software’s Customers. Jive is a beastly and complex application comprised of many different architectural components. There are millions of lines of code in the core single-tenant application alone and lots and lots of moving parts that run in multi-tenant services outside the core app and integrate. Designing application customizations and integrations that account for all of that complexity and deliver quality and performance is a huge feat, and requires the utmost knowledge and expertise of modern Java and web development frameworks. Mike is highly qualified in these topics. In addition to his depth of development knowledge, Mike embodies an attitude of ‘If you have to do it more than once, you should automate it.’ He’s built countless automation tools for his projects, which have improved the speed and quality with which our engineering organization is able to accomplish development goals. Many of these projects were done in addition to his assigned work and weren’t things his management asked for -- Mike saw a need, and he delivered on it above and beyond his job description because it made the team better. As a teammate, Mike is a warm and friendly communicator, open to discussion and feedback, and able to add important ideas to conversations. While working together on projects, Mike and I most frequently met remotely over video conferencing software and, despite being located remotely, Mike was always extremely proactive in his communication on the work we shared. Mike’s strong communication skills led directly to the success of our projects. In conclusion, Mike Masters is a highly-capable engineer, who constantly uses his skills to improve the capability of the team, and who proactively communicates complex technical topics to many audiences in order to achieve success. For the reasons I have stated above, I give Mike Masters my strongest recommendation.", and "Michael is a talented engineer, with attention to details, and a passion to design solutions that are both effective and scale over time. I have seen Michael tackle multiple different customer issues, some escalated, and address them promptly, efficiently, and with a calm demeanor that helped maintain a positive and productive relationship with our customers."
