“Michael provides outstanding service and value as the lead Production and Development DBA to the Business Systems Team (which I work with on a day to day basis) and many other teams within Cherry Street. He’s one of those guys you want on your team! We rely on him to help us provide the best possible design and solution for our work. I recently worked with Michael on the development of an integration package between two medical systems. While he may have not been familiar with the two systems at that time, he asked thoughtful and precise questions that quickly developed critical integration points. Michael abounds with fresh ideas and really takes the time to explain things in detail when needed. He is amazing at data manipulation and his ability to manage multiple tasks is impressive. Lastly, while Michael is a strong technical lead with over 15 years of database expertise, he’s also very motivated, has high energy and driven to do the right thing. I have learned a lot from Michael in both the technical and non-technical realms. His business savvy and management skills are outstanding; however, as he puts it, “I’d rather be a ROCKSTAR individual contributor in SQL”… And he is! My experience working with Michael has been an absolute pleasure and I recommend him to all.”
