"I worked with Damian on a complex, systems overhaul/integration project. Damian was the Test Manager and consistently performed with a high level of professionalism. He has a Can-Do attitude and never missed a deadline or failed to provide any deliverables assigned to him. He always advocated the 'Right' solution even if it wasn't the easiest solution. It's his insistence on not cutting corners on quality which makes him invaluable to any software development project. I hope our career paths cross again as I thoroughly enjoyed working with him."
