Tim Bingham is a Senior System Software Engineer at Akamai Technologies. He possess expertise in unix, distributed systems, software development, c++, cloud computing and 17 more skills. Colleagues describe him as "I found Tim to be extremely talented, easy to work with, and my go to person for any and all architecture issues. He knows how to design a system with a holistic view; he sees the forest and the trees so to speak. What this means is that he can design in the large and build in the small. Everything I got from him was well thought out, easy to extend, easy to maintain, and rock solid. Better yet, he would always take the time to help explain something, be a foil for bouncing ideas, and generally making himself available for whatever was asked. Almost every time I needed someone to solve an architectural problem, I went to Tim. His ability to see the big picture gave a strong voice to constructing solutions that logically fit with a view to the future as opposed to a solution that didn't extend past the problem at hand. This type of understanding is rare; and one you want. Additionally, he gets the business model; he knows that sometimes you need to make trade-offs (refactor instead of throw away, for example). Plus, during the last few months of Dataupia's existence, Tim stepped up and into every role imaginable. If it needed to get done, interesting or mundane, he was there and there with a laugh and a smile. I personally found him invaluable and I know he saved us months of development time with his insights and his work. To put it simply, Tim is the definition of rock star." and "Tim is a detail oriented engineer who easily copes with designing and maintaining large bodies of self contained code. He worked capably with customers and partners on open sourced projects managed by Avid. His code is clean, readable and well commented. Moreover, he's always willing to mentor other engineers. And, lastly, he's a nice guy."
