"I had the pleasure of working with Tom Carey during my time with Chenega Federal Systems. Tom exemplifies

professionalism and has a knack for innovative solutions to both technical and procedural issues. During our time

at CFS, he and I worked on some very tough scalability and performance issues in designing a very complex and

ambitious SOA solution with limited resources resulting in a capability that would not have been possible without

his expertise. Tom's expertise in information security and solutions architecture are hard to match, and I look

forward to hopefully working with him again in the future."
