Skyler Smith is a Software Engineer Intern at Proofpoint. Colleagues describe them as "I have had the pleasure of working with Skyler for the last 9 months at Proofpoint. We have had several opportunities to pair program together. He is quick to pick up new concepts and new languages. He has transitioned from using Java to Scala and has picked up the language and functional programming concepts quickly. He is focused and dedicated to his work and is enjoyable to work with. I would highly recommend Skyler to anyone looking for a talented programmer.", "Skyler Smith is an extremely talented software engineer with huge growth potential. He joined our team as an intern and was able to come up to speed on our complicated code base, a new programming language and all of the technologies we use in our micro-service architecture in AWS in an incredibly short period of time. In just a few months I started getting unsolicited feedback from the senior and staff engineers on my team that Skyler was doing amazingly well and they were really impressed with his work. His work ethic has been really strong throughout and he is proactive about seeking out tasks when he frees up and needs new work. He's very professional and a pleasure to work with. In short I would gladly hire Skyler again if given the opportunity. He was a very successful intern for us at Proofpoint and I'm sure he'll be a very successful software engineer as he starts his full-time career after graduation.", and "I am very pleased to write recommendation for Skyler Smith. I have worked with many Jr developers and Skyler possess all the qualities you look for. He is patient and willing to learn, personable and fun to be around, but also has an impressive base of knowledge and is willing to jump in and figure it out--which he usually does. Complex software concepts come easily to Skyler because of his understanding of basic principles of computer science. I was impressed by the ease and speed by which Skyler took on his responsibilities. He put in time and effort above what was expected. At one point he was the only productive member of our team and led the way to the project's success. It is never easy to replace a valuable teammate. I would like to say that Skyler's work has been missed since he left WriteExpress--its loss will be another company's gain. I believe he would be a tremendous asset to any team. He is a colleague with whom I am proud to work. I'm happy to discuss Skyler's qualifications at any time. Feel free to message me here on LinkedIn or we can talk over the phone."
