REFERENCE 3:
I am writing you regarding my experience working with Damon Burke on the TransLink
project here in the San Francisco Bay Area. I am the Project Manager for the
Metropolitan Transportation Commission and had the opportunity to work with
Damon for several years on the project. While Damon did not work directly for
me, as a key part of our Contractor's team we had a great deal of interaction
in the areas of network design, network maintenance, and software downloads.
Damon also provided assistance troubleshooting and resolving several data
communication
issues, including experience with wireless communications. Damon supported the
project both in the office and in the field and was an important part of Motorola's
and ERG's project team from the design phases of the project through implementation.
He has a great deal of knowledge regarding how networking and communications
issues affect AFC systems.
Please let me know if I can be of more assistance.
