Greg Edwards

Professional References

To Whom It May Concern:

It gives me great pleasure to provide Mr. Greg Edwards our highest commendation for his efforts throughout the past 8 months at Accor North America. Accor requisitioned Greg's technical skills specifically his 'C' and Unix expertise to assist with the development of the File Management System. During this short time, I had the opportunity to oversee some of Greg's handy work throughout the development phase of this project.

Greg has proven that he is extremely knowledgeable with the C language, Unix environment, and open-source technologies. He is able to take a system through the design, development, debugging, testing, and documentation phases with no supervision and minimal instructions. He has very good verbal, written, and interpersonal communication skills. He conducts business in a professional manner when dealing with other team members and always strives to maintain constructive working relationships. He adapted well to our work environment and is willing to take risks and make personal scarifies to ensure our project is on schedule and within budget. He has on several occasions labored for over 100 hours per weeks at our request. The quality of his work has exceeded our expectations.

I am certain that Greg will also strive to provide the highest quality service in any business environment that he may have the opportunity to serve in the future.

Sincerely,
Elvin R. Gaban

Greg did a great job using Pro*C to do some extraction, translation, and load processing using a dynamic data map in Oracle. The load process very quickly handled thousands of files per day coming from properties all over the country. He worked with system adminitrators, DBAs, project managers, fellow developers, data administrators, and users to accomplish this in a shortened development cycle.

Greg Edwards worked as contractor with VERIZON Corp for 2+ years as an application developer. Greg's main responsibility was the continued development and maintenance of a client server application on INFORMIX on a HP-UX UNIX Ver 10.20 platform.

Greg excelled as a team player and worked in a professional manner with utmost efficiency. He was very responsive to all customer/user needs.

Greg's accomplishment involved upgrading an old Kornshell application into a client server application. Greg was responsible for design, project management, development, and testing.

Greg was a pleasure to work with and an asset to my team. I would recommend him for any development projects.

It has been a pleasure to work with Greg Edwards for the past two years. Greg's knowledge of C, Unix, and Database interfaces is very impressive. I would say that Greg has been the most knowledgeable C programmer we have had working for us. He has helped all of our C programmers solve difficult technical problems. His management of the project he was working on was also outstanding. What was especially impressive was his ability to work with non-technical personnel and get his ideas across.

I would recommend Greg for any project, knowing that he will deliver quality work.

Greg Edwards is a very knowledgeable, dependable, conscientious, self-motivated, detail oriented team player, who is extremely customer focused, with a willingness to help others. Greg is a valuable resource and would be quite beneficial to any project or team.

Greg has been re-engineering a patch-worked shell system for a call center server software system. He converted it to a binary system using C, to provide a consistent and uniform process, providing new functionality and process improvements, a Process Manger and a User Interface. He also created a Development Environment and utilized an Archival System for Source Code. Greg developed previously non-existent documentation for the server software system.

Dear Sir or Madam:

I am pleased to provide an enthusiastic recommendation for Greg Edwards. Greg was single-handedly responsible for the success of our new generation document archival system, EDV (Electronic Document Vault). Greg took a system that was archaic and over-patched and turned it into an intelligent, user-friendly check-in/check-out system for Interleaf engineering documentation. Greg's new system not only met all of our expectations, but his suggestions for improvement made it even better than we could have hoped for. The GUI browser he designed has been quite a success with the engineers. Greg's programming skills, dedication to quality and personable manner would make him an asset to any organization.

To whom it may concern,

Greg Edwards has been working in our manufacturing automation group for more than five years. Greg is reliable and self motivated. These are obviously good traits in a programmer or anyone, but are sometimes difficult to find. He has written quite a few production programs developed under Unix in C on the Sun platform.

Greg has been the "go to" person on many small projects. He has also been a very good contributing team member working with customers and other programmers on a fairly large system. His technical expertise with Unix and C is excellent. So much so that he actually instructs other programmers from time to time.

Anyone can be sure that Greg is a good solid high performing employee who can be trusted and relied upon.

To whom it may concern,

I am the technical writer for a group of programmers at Alcatel USA. It has been my pleasure to work with Greg Edwards during my time with the group. He is very conscientious and detail minded. He also puts a great deal of thought and care into documenting all of his programs. In doing so, he has made my job much easier and less stressful. He would be a good addition to any team needing programming expertise and will be missed by all of us here.

Dear Sir/Madam:

I worked with Greg on a project to develop a modification to an existing tool used by a large number of engineers at Alcatel. I found Greg had the ability to grasp the overall scope of the project, manage meetings, involve the right people, and most importantly deliver a useful product for my organization.

I trust you should find Greg able to deliver the same qualities to your company.
