Chris embraced my focus on lean management principles and he implemented control measures to improve our IT operations in a short amount of time.

Chris' drive to provide the best customer service is one of his greatest attributes. I sincerely enjoyed our professional relationship at Innovative Objects. I would not hesitate to work with Chris again in the future. A true asset.

When trouble occurred with a database, the sever one resided on, or even software/servers that maybe only remotely touched the databases, Chris would always be there to step in and give his all to get the issue resolved. He was instrumental in maintaining and improving our databases that we have greater confidence in them.

Chris also took charge of handling and improving software deployments from Watco's programmers into the DEV, QA and PRD environments. By doing so he considerably improved the consistency of these deployments, and implemented better version controls.

After taking on his previous responsibilities at Watco, I've found first hand that the documentation he created over time was clear and concise on how to handle the various tasks he had to do. He has also done considerable work to improve and automate the processes involved that it's helped simplify the process further insuring the consistency of the deployments."
