"John worked on several of our project initiatives under our strategic program team as a System Analyst.

Jodi Liscio, PMP: hired John as a IT Consultant (4TechWork) in 2008

"John has a rare combination of technical, business and communication skills. He is equally at ease discussing J2EE details, Business Cases or giving project guidance to the project leads. John has worked at small to medium sized companies and with me at a Fortune 500 company. In other words John scales vertically and horizontally! If not for us being acquired John would be continuing to do great things at National City on my team. Bill Kickel." December 15, 2008
William Kickel, Application Architect, National City Corporation: worked directly with John at National City Corporation

"I had pleasure of working with John at National City. He has diverse knowledge base in user interface, usability, information security, data warehouse, business processes and recent technological trends. John's analytical recommendations are consummate. John can be an asset to organizations who need innovative business analysis, technical review, and vision to increase their market share in this competitive economy." December 13, 2008
Manav Gupta, Consulting Sr. System Analyst at National City Bank: worked directly with John at National City Corporation


Data Analyst / Web Application Developer

"I have worked with John, both on professional projects at Westfield and personal web development projects. I have yet to meet someone who is more knowledgeable on web development. Additionally, John's ability to take the most esoteric ideas and simplify them into a language that the typical business client could understand is surpassed by no one. He is flexible and business agile, which is needed and appreciated when business needs change over night. But it is not only John's technical skills that should be noted, but also John's "soft skills" are remarkable and unexpected from a technical person. John can meet with any level of employee from your basic help desk personnel to the CEO of a company, and everyone is at ease. His calm demeanor and customer service oriented attitude is outstanding. John would be an asset to any company, and he is someone who I hope will continue to mentor my technical savvy." December 15, 2008
Kathleen Noe, Project Lead, PNC / National City Bank: worked directly with John at Westfield Group

"John is highly skilled in leveraging complex Web and data technologies to deliver user friendly requirements-driven business solutions. At Westfield Group he developed dashboards based on industry Web/portlet standards, leveraging multiple Web and data technologies to provide critical status/trend information to Personal Lines leadership. John's technical knowledge and business acumen led to his role as a key contributor and stakeholder on the enterprise portal implementation. I relied equally on John's business acumen during roll-out of enterprise Role-Based Access Control. I greatly respect John's balance of technical and soft skills and his commitment to maximizing value gained from existing IT investments." December 14, 2008
Michael Kopfer, Sr. IT Policy/Strategy Analyst, SAIC: worked directly with John at Westfield Group

"John is a thought leader and expert in software engineer, object oriented design, analysis, coding, Java programming language, and the J2EE architecture. His deep understanding and ability to apply it directly to create elegant, yet feature rich solutions is one of his strengths. John clearly sees architectural and design patterns, and applies them to these designs. His insight, leadership, ability to teach and mentor junior developers, make this expertise even more valuable as he passes this onto junior team members. There is no technology solution that John can't dive down into, master in short order. I would look forward to working with John in the future." December 13, 2008
