Marisol Guzman Founder and CEO

“I’ve known Gary for 20 years and have had the pleasure of working with him for 5 years (in 2 consulting companies and 1 manufacturing company). Gary is one of the most talented and gifted programmer / analysts I’ve ever worked with. His knowledge of IBM systems is unsurpassed. When the IBM system 36 was introduced IBM support was calling him on a regular basis for advice on technical issues. When he worked with IBM on Iseries issues – most of the time he would come up with a resolution before they could and many of his solutions were published in their knowledge database or white paper articles! One of the projects he worked on was a very large-scale file externalization conversion that involved hundreds of hours of manual programmer modifications and was prone to error - Gary wrote programs to automate this process and saved the company a lot of time and money. One of the key elements that set Gary apart is his excellent understanding of the business needs and what has to be accomplished to exceed the demands of the customer and make the business successful. Gary mixes excellent IT programming skills with a solid customer centric approach to his work. Gary tackles each project with a high level of enthusiasm, flexibility, strong dedication, determination, and quality instinct. Gary is forward thinking, willing to present his ideas regarding the current state of the business as well as future direction/needs and build these aspects into his programming work. Gary is always willing to help and is genuinely concerned with the success of his co-workers. I highly recommend Gary and he will be a tremendous asset to any company that recognizes his qualifications.” Ric Whiting, I.T. Consultant

“During the four years I worked with Gary, he was always willing to research and test possible solutions to difficult programming situations I was not having success resolving. He went the extra mile and provided help to anyone who asked for it. He always had a positive and enthusiastic attitude. Gary accepted all challenges that came his way including learning new computer languages and technology. When necessary he sought solutions "outside the box" to resolve issues. Gary is hard working and ready to take on all challenges sent his way. Gary will be an asset to any company” Bob Tappan IT Manager
