Recommendations For Barry
Application Architect
Humana
I've worked with Barry on several projects over the years, and have always admired his
ability to provide creative thinking, professionalism, and a contagious enthusiasm to his
work. He is innovative, highly proficient in various technical skills, and consistently
strives to design the best solution possible for the problem at hand. He's a great team
player and interfaces with customers well, able to describe highly technical ideas in a
way that non-technical people can understand easily. January 11, 2012
3rd Stephen L., Applications Consultant, Humana, Inc
worked directly with Barry at Humana
Barry is very detail oriented and knowledgeable about Oracle. When working with Barry on
projects he always takes the time to make sure that the changes that he is implementing
are explained so that the user feels comfortable that they can execute what needs to be
done. He is very hands on if that is what is needed. I have full trust if Barry is
involved that the needs of the Business are fully met December 8, 2011
3rd Mary K M., HR Tech Analyst, Humana
was a consultant or contractor to Barry at Humana
Barry is passionate about anything he undertakes. I've never seen an issue, no matter
how complex, that Barry couldn't solve. As a business partner in HR it is important to
have someone you can rely on to get issues resolved timely amd efficiently. December 7,

December 1, 2011
Jayathirth K., PLSQL Developer, Humana
reported to Barry at Humana
I worked with Barry directly for almost 7 years and he reported to me for almost 4. He
is the epitome of innovation. He is always looking for new ways to do things and leads
others in implementing these ideas.
And while his ideas are usually close to his Oracle database comfort zone, he has
considerable potential well beyond any particular technology or platform. Barry thinks
beyond what is asked and considers the actual need, and sometimes the unrealized and
undefined need.
Like his teammates, his commitment to consistent delivery is not exceeded. He understands
the importance of operational excellence and uses his creativity to propel that
excellence, not hinder it.
Barry would be a valuable contributor to any team or project. November 27, 2011
3rd Michael A., Manager - Information Technology - Application Development, Humana
managed Barry at Humana
Barry has been my mentor and role model in IT career. It has been a great learning
experience to work with him. He is an innovative and creative person. He provides the best
possible solutions to the problems. I learned a lot from him about the best practices and
architectural design. I feel myself proud to be worked him. To be honest, I have not seen
any other such a technical expert in IT Industries apart from him. Hats off Barry
October 7, 2011
3rd Tejas R., Consultant, TCS
reported to Barry at Humana
Barry is very thorough and innovative. He takes a project to a high notch with his
proactive thinking and hard work. In all the years I have worked with him, he has been a
source of inspiration to go above and beyond the limitation of scope. For example the HR
Data feed. He created the dynamic api which can accept different criteria and provide
desired result in fraction of seconds. If the same work was applied per project the effort
can go into months/years but he created this flexible and reliable approach which can be
adapted by any project. It's always a joy working with him. September 29, 2011
3rd Priyanka M., Application Architect, Humana Inc.
worked directly with Barry at Humana
Barry, is one of the most creative people I have worked with. Together we created

3rd Martin J., Applications Architect, Humana
worked directly with Barry at Humana
Barry is an 'out-of-the-box' thinker, and will seek a solution to a problem until it has
been resolved. He never gives-up. Barry was our 'go-to' person for problem resolution. If
I had to assemble a new technical team, Barry would be my 'first draft' choice. Many of
his technical approaches/solutions have not only stood the test of time, but have been
shared with other companies as well in a 'best practice' forum. July 27, 2011
