        I know and worked with Albert for 10 years when he was a Technical Project Manager at HDS.  He managed the Storage Area Network Certification between HDS storage systems and Cisco MDS/Nexus switches.  

I'm always impressed with Albert's enthusiasm, communication skills, and professional demeanor.  He is reliable, dedicated and eternally upbeat.  Albert worked to help release many H/W and S/W products in a timely manner for both HDS and Cisco.  His ability to understand new technologies in our new products was phenomenal.  He would know what mattered most when it came to prioritization.

I am sure he would make a lot of people look good especially his manager in any organization. Ryuichiro Tonari
      
          



            
              
        
              
  

    
        I've worked with Albert for several years in the same group in Hitachi Data Systems.  Albert is very passionate about what he does at work.  He has deep technical knowledge and great hands-on experience for Hitachi's as well as partner's products he supported.  We have various partner related engineering programs we manage in our group and his technical program management expertise definitely helped us establish great relationship with our strategic partners.
