I've worked with Paul on several security projects in the public sector over ~2 years. During that time he demonstrated unique set of skills in the areas of development, system administration, devops and a wealth of experience in security. Paul is able to take the lead on a project and has the aptitude to gain a deep understanding of a product or technology and apply that knowledge where appropriate. Additionally, Paul is very approachable and keen to help and educate other team members. As an example, Paul was our lead developer/devops guy. On a few projects he automated our entire security stack such as firewall, proxy rules as well as Linux and Windows server infrastructure. Additionally, he developed several middleware applications to allow different products to integrate. This also required balancing specific customer requirements with limitations of certain technologies. On a personal level Paul is super easy to get along with, always makes time for people and often has a great anecdote ready to go. I would happily work with Paul again in the future.", and "I’ve had the pleasure of working closely with Paul for over 10 years now. We frequently collaborate on solutions and blue sky thinking, often finding ourselves in the same scrums since we’re highly regarded by the business as being SME’s in our respective areas of expertise. More than this, Paul is supportive and approachable in his nature, which results in exceptionally strong and long lasting relationships being formed between colleagues, vendors and customer contacts alike. I welcome every single opportunity to work with Paul, and I hope I am fortunate to continue working with him for many years to come."
