Mani Suri Head of Technology at Thomson Reuters -
Byron is a talented and exceptionally motivated engineer. During Byron's time on my team he consistently sought out ways to improve our existing software, either through refactoring inefficient/unreadable code to exploring new libraries and technology that we could adopt into our technology stack. Byron brought excellent insight into our UI and web development, and I could always turn to him for an educated opinion on design and development. I would highly recommend Byron any team wanting to lead with new technology and understand where it can take them

Byron is an exceptional asset in all aspects of software development. I witnessed on a daily basis Byron's abilities to construct and debug effective business logic through the development of Elliott Electric's ASP.net driven web and mobile front end sites as well as their javascript and HTML5 driven iOS and Android apps. Byron shows an exceptional ability to start on his own. He showed an precedented ability to learn SDKs from the ground up to be able to rapidly deploy apps. Byron exhibited consistent work ethic and will be valued resource in any venture that he pursues
