Braulio Carreno, CTO, Bookpool.com
“I had the good fortune to have Marc in my team in '03-'04. He always took the initiative, needed little supervision, and got the job done promptly. Although at the time there was a difficult work environment in our company, he always kept a professional and positive attitude. Marc also has the technical talents that make up good engineers. He is a real geek: passionate and curious, always learning about new technologies. He is smart and a pleasure to work with, I recommend him without hesitation.”
Christine Sandvik, Director of Product Planning, Scholastic Inc
“Marc is one of the most creative software engineers that I have worked with. During the past five years his responsibility for the architectural design and software team management for complicated projects has increased. He is not afraid to take chances in using new software technologies and approaches while at the same time able to articulate and communicate the reasons that a new approach is needed. He is a team collaborator and is able to quickly identify problems that can cause a project to slow down or get stalled. Marc is able to adapt to changing requirements and approaches, to manage his team efficiently and to continually look for ways to improve the product.”
Kelly Vaast, Technical Producer, Scholastic Inc
“Marc is an excellent Software Engineering Manager. We worked together on a high-profile product for close to a year, and during that time I was continually impressed with his technical knowledge, holistic view of building software, creative problem-solving, and team management skills. He cares deeply about the end product, and has the experience and forethought to guide his team in the right direction.”
Russell Lowke, UI & Flex contract programmer
“Marc has got to be one of the most solid and quick programmers I have ever worked with. He has an amazing ability to learn and adapt to new architectures and frameworks, and is highly adept at quickly finding those all important details in the API. It doesn’t surprise me in the least that he is winning awards for his use of the new Adobe AIR SDK.”
Robert Thibeault, Art Director, Tom Snyder Productions
“Marc is exceptionally talented and not only a gifted programmer but someone everyone goes to when they need valuable input. He is extremely inventive and has a wide knowledge base that keeps growing. As Art Director I was always amazed how quickly he would interpret preliminary designs and have something up and running. He embellishes concepts as well as knowing their limitations. When he gives input to newly developed designs there's always a clear understanding behind his feedback with time, resources and budget in mind.”
Rick Abrams, General Manager, Tom Snyder Productions
“Marc is an incredibly bright, hard working, nice and flexible person. As director of software engineering he has built and overseen a large number of complex programs here at Scholastic/Tom Snyder Productions. He is always patient to explain his thinking and can get a room of people to agree on complex ideas. He's helped to implement new development tools here as well as our agile development efforts. Marc is a great person and contributor. Rick Abrams General Manager Scholastic/Tom Snyder Productions”
Alyson Amaral Roy, Senior Producer, Tom Snyder Productions
“I had the pleasure of working closely with Marc on many occasions over the last four years. As the Director of Software Engineering he always makes collaboration and accountability his priorities. Marc is extremely innovative, and does a great job leading his team in creating finely crafted, robust products. I can recall several instances where he would invest long hours toward achieving tough deadlines, and the end result always delivered. I also enjoy the humor and camaraderie Marc brings to the workplace.”
