Testimonials
I recently engaged Paul as a technical lead on a high-velocity project at Ball Corporation. With a team of consultants who had never worked together before, most of whom had never been exposed to techniques such as Domain Driven Design or Test Driven Development, I was amazed at the speed with which Paul had everyone working as a focused, coherent and effective agile team.
There are very few people who I would recommend without hesitation - Paul is one of the few.

"When we decided to undertake a new development paradigm (Scrum, Open Source, and Multiple Developers), we knew we would need help. It wasn't enough for us to find someone that would have the knowledge, we needed a great communicator, mentor and leader to help us in this transition. Paul was that person and has been a tremendous asset to our project!"

For the last 6 months, in various degrees of intensity, Paul has consulted with Larimer on an 'Open Source' development project for our Health Department. He has had a very positive impact on our team in the following areas:
Paul has the technical skills, demeanor and personality that made him extremely approachable and an exceptional fit into the team dynamics. I would highly recommend him to any development project as a technical resource, or project management resource as well as a ScrumMaster.

I have known Paul since early 2006 and I can say that he is one of the most professional and talented architects that I have worked with in my 13 years in the recruiting industry. Trust and integrity are two of the most important things you can ask for in business partnership and Paul has earned both 100%. He is a class act and an individual that I know I will be working with for many years to come.

I recommend Paul without any reservations. As an architect he takes a business-first approach and then makes technical tradeoffs based on business needs. With this guiding principle, Paul keeps projects moving forward. Paul is also one of the best communicators I have met. He strives to keep people informed of important decisions, gets input and feedback from the team when it is relevant, and seeks first to understand before attempting to be understood. In short, I respect Paul, both as a co-worker and personally as a friend.

Really enjoyed the training & thought Paul did a superb job.
I was hoping for more information on how to correctly write requirements, and I didn't come away with anything concrete on that topic. However, what we did cover opened up a whole new world to me and I'm excited about trying it in reality!!! Thanks!
Really enjoyed the training & thought Paul did a superb job. I think user stories sound like they could be a great way to approach our software development...Thanks for the training.
