He was always willing to lend an ear when needed and step in when asked. What I found highly commendable was the ease with which he became part of the AMEC team - he always seemed to be looking out for AMEC's best interest. He was at ease conversing with the whole range of AMEC personnel on the project be they an external consultant, senior management or entry level programmers. It was a pleasure to work with Andy and I would not hesitate to work with him in in the future if the opportunity arose.”

“Andy has contributed greatly to a major project at AMEC as a Solution Architect. First, as the architect, Andy provided pragmatic advice in tackling large technology challenges in manageable increments. Andy is an excellent problem solver, and had the primary responsible to provide advice on making our technologies work well together. He has an excellent ability to simplify complex technology concepts and communicate those to win others to his thinking. Second, he was a primary driver in transforming our expansive requirements into architecture and design documents that have been used by other team members to create the solution. Third, Andy has been instrumental in understanding and predicting how all the pieces will fit together and identified potential issues early on to provide mitigation strategies. Andy will fit into any technically challenging role, and it has been my pleasure to work with him. I hope to do so again.”
