"I worked alongside Michael in different roles at MZ. He headed up a newly formed engineering group in the organization and helped guide and direct the team towards meeting it's goals for success. Michael is a bright and knowledgeable person who is constantly asking for more responsibilities and fulfills his existing responsibilities with ease. He's dedicated to whatever he does and enjoys looking for the bright side of things, even when the going sometimes gets real tough. It was a pleasure working with him!"

"Michael led the newly formed Game Engineering tech foundation group from hundreds of bugs down to zero in a short period of time -- just a matter of months. He shared his methods in a presentation which was very insightful. Michael was also very responsive but also realistic whenever my groups needed anything. Thanks Michael!
Ed Garcia (MZ)
"I had the opportunity to work with Michael as my engineering team's TPM, during which he helped us manage our technical debt, track key metrics, and deliver awesome game features. He did a great job of not only managing all these roles, but did so with a smile on his face. Michael definitely brought a good energy to an often difficult and overwhelming job, and it was most certainly a pleasure working with him."

Michael is one of the most detail oriented producers I've worked with. He communicates very clearly and always strives to ensure we are all on the same page when discussing complex technical scenarios/issues that need to be resolved at 343. Beyond work, he is always kind to give valuable advice and makes positive impact in contributing to work culture and professional relationships.

I was welcomed into the Chiro8000 beta client program. Michael enlisted our office to provide feedback on new features and development. Working with Michael was amazing. Not only did I see our feedback encompassed into the software as new features, but the level of interaction he provided was unmatched. We even ended up purchasing the new Integrated Billing module he designed so that we can now check patient benefits, send claims and post insurance EOBS all from within our certified software. Michael is the reason I stay with Forté!

Michael is reliable, knowledgeable and won't disappear until the problem is solved. Great troubleshooter and explains what he's doing and why. I would recommend Michael to anyone regardless of the size and scope of the job.
