"Don is a brilliant engineer and a true asset to any team. I had the pleasure of working with him for 2.5 years at Aurora, and I was constantly impressed by his ability to identify potential issues before they even arose. His foresight undoubtedly saved us countless hours of support and engineering time by catching errors before they became real problems."

"In addition to Don's technical skills, he is an excellent mentor and teacher. He is always willing to share his knowledge and experience with others, and he is continually learning, open to new ideas and alternate solutions. Don has a strong work ethic and a positive attitude that is contagious. This makes Don a valuable asset to any team lucky enough to have him."

"I worked with Don on the same team for nearly two years. Throughout that time, I came to consider him one of the best Software Engineers I've ever had the pleasure of working with. He's collaborative and thorough, producing some of the best code I've ever tested."

"Don has a passion for creating simple, decoupled, domain-driven solutions that stand the test of time. Beyond his technical skills, he is an outstanding mentor, generously sharing his years of experience and guiding engineers in best practices. At the same time, he is incredibly humble and quick to recognize and celebrate the contributions of others."
