Steve Bowles
Program Manager at American Express
Carl and I first began working together in 1998 as consultants to American Express. Beginning in 2000, we were founding partners in a small software development firm for commercial insurance. We worked together in that capacity for nearly seven years. From 2013 to 2015, Carl and I worked together on a project at American Express. I was the Program Manager, and he was the architect.
Carl is the best there is. He is outstanding in developing business solutions, architecture, and development. He has a productive output equal to about three people. He is a real problem solver... never tells the business it cannot be done. If they can describe it, he will find a way to do it. He is skilled at keeping things simple. He is also a lot of fun to work with.
I highly recommend Carl more than any other IT person out there!
