Recommendations

Michael and I worked together at Corvesta Inc. where he was a Senior Software Engineer. He jumped right in when he first came on board to help with efforts of converting our legacy system to a web platform using MVC, C# and Oracle. He is always goes above and beyond to learn new things and to help others learn as well. Mike pioneered the efforts on our weekly lunch and learn sessions, where were shared insights on new and existing technology. He was also on my Innovation Team where he spent his own personal time learning about new web technologies to help bring value to the team. He would bring value to any team he was on.

For the past year, I have had the fortunate opportunity to work with Mike on the Army Mapper application at GISinc. Mike’s professionalism, work ethic, strong communication skills, and ability to learn and apply new technologies has made him an invaluable asset to the team. It has been refreshing to work with someone who not only strives to find the best solutions to difficult problems, but also motivates others to excel as well. Whether it is writing a custom web service, working on front end UI design, or developing stored procedures, Mike can handle all aspects of web application development. It is always a pleasure to work with and learn from Mike, and I look forward to continuing to develop premier applications with him in the future!

It is an honor to write this letter of recommendation for Mr. Michael Haggerty. Mike started with SiteVision, Inc. in May of 2007 as a web application developer. Mike was the lead developer on some of our most complex applications. I always looked forward to seeing the progress he was making because he often surprised me with subtle design or technical details that added great benefit to the application. Mike is a quick study on new technologies and understanding how these technologies can enhance the user experience while at the same time understanding the budget and needs of a client. In addition to his technical skills, Mike is an excellent communicator. He often worked with me and the client from the concept phase of an application to final delivery. I have no problem letting him work directly with any of our clients. I would not hesitate to recommend Michael for any position he might aspire to. Mike’s enthusiasm and work ethic will make him a great asset for any organization he seeks to become a part of.
