“Christopher is an amazing talent. I managed an engagement where he was my Kubernetes lead and he quickly excelled in picking up technologies that were crucial to the success of delivery. I watched him grow as a team leader along the way providing solutions for the challenges that his colleagues would face, and training/demo'ing his proof of concepts to the team. He's eager to continue growing in his field and continues to increase his technology toolset delivering blogs on the Oteemo website that will satisfy the most technical folks. Chris is great to work with and I always appreciate the way he thinks outside the box, his determination to get things done, and his drive to continue growing. He's a worker, and I mean that in every sense of the word. Many talk the talk, but Chris will assist and contribute during off hours and at all hours of the night to ensure the customer's success. Chris is a great asset to Oteemo and I would hire him to be a part of my team anytime.”
