John Cosby, Project Manager at Cedars-Sinai Health System.
“I’ve worked with Gerard for the past five years in his role as a Technical Architect, supporting many Shell Downstream IT projects. Gerard has keen understanding of the business problems that his projects are addressing, how to properly assess the cross-domain technical options involved in his projects, and ultimately how to deliver successful designs, systems and outcomes for the businesses he supports. Gerard has kept his skills sharp across the many changes in hosting (Hybrid, Azure, AWS, SaaS), IAM, networks, security, and end user platforms. He is knowledgeable, collaborative, and a very hard worker. He’s consistently been a benchmark of excellence in his Technical Architecture role. I highly recommend Gerard.“
