Recommendations

Yvonne Ng (External Outreach Manager, MIT OpenCourseWare) Francis is an amazing volunteer at

MIT OpenCourseWare. He serves as a key MIT recruiter for the OCW Mirror Site Program that o ers

free copies of the OCW website to educational institutions that have issues with connecting online. Francis

has taken the initiative to promote and recruit MIT students traveling abroad to help make local

connections for the program and he s been an incredible troubleshooter for the technical issues that come

from the Mirror Site A liates. He s responsive, dependable and extremely helpful to our program.

Abhishek Nagaraj (Ph.D. Student, MIT Sloan) Francis writes wonderful code. He understands how to

make code readable, succinct and yet fully functional. I managed Francis as a graduate student at the MIT

Mobile Innovation Group where Francis wrote web crawlers and parsers for us. We used mysql, python,

perl. javascript and web markup all of which Francis understands really well. He is diligent, timely and

sincere and will make a great addition to any development team. I recommend Francis for most technical

development and management roles.
