        I have had the opportunity to work with Andres on a few different projects. In each instance I was extremely impressed with his level of expertise and professionalism. He was able to effectively apply his experience to new domains & applications by providing much needed and relevant insight to the projects we were working on. His depth of knowledge in cloud computing, dev/ops, and security was critical to our success. He is an excellent asset to any team and I look forward to working with him again in the future.

        Andres is a top-notch professional with solid technical chops.   Extremely knowledgeable in cloud automation technologies.   He is a great communicator, fantastic team player, and a very proactive self-starter.  Just point him in the direction and off he goes to successfully execute.  Even up through his very last hours at GE, he was integrally involved in closing loops and actively participating in interviewing back-fill contracting resources.   Andres will bring value wherever he goes, and I am confident he will succeed in his future roles.  I highly recommend Andres without reservation.
