Colleagues describe him as "As part of a team at Portland Code School, Neil worked on my site, 28dayhug.com, converting it from wordpress to rails. Neil worked on some new billing code for the site, integrating Stripe and creating rake tasks to automate the billing on custom schedules. There was some sticky code issues with the site and Neil persevered through them all to realize our design with a much more robust back end." and "I worked both beside and with Neil for most of our time together at the Portland Code School. It took a while for me to get to know Neil personally but I can happily say that in every encounter with him I never left empty-handed.
While I worked nearby him it wasn't until a month or so into the program that I had the chance to actually work directly with Neil. Once I did, however, it was an immense pleasure. Neil is an excellent coder and, probably more importantly, a fantastic team member.
In trying to describe him, I struggled as he is one of the quietest yet brightest person in the room; At first I marked Neil as reserved but it does him a disservice in his ability to be present and energetically-engaged. As such Neil was always incredibly approachable and a technically solid and determined worker.
I hope to someday get another chance to work beside Neil. He is an excellent addition to any team and someone can easily recommend in the highest regard."
