“I have worked with Derrick for over a decade. I have been a peer, and also as one of his team members. Derrick has grown immensely over the years, constantly taking on new challenges. In my time knowing Derrick, I've seen him progress through his career with curiosity and hard work. He began as an excellent engineer/router jockey, as well as technical team lead. He then took on more of an architecture role, along with flexing his coding skills in building automation. Having excelled in as an IC, he moved into management, becoming an effective and well respected leader. Derrick is a problem solver, a team player, and cares for his peers and team members. I have found Derrick to be an exemplary manager and peer. Anyone given the opportunity to work with Derrick will, undoubtably, appreciate his professionalism, his humble demeanor, his sharp mind and unwavering integrity. I highly recommend Derrick.”
