“Have you ever seen a unicorn? We all know what they look like but precious few of us have ever seen one in person because they’re so rare. That’s kind of what it’s like working with Armando. You don’t believe it at first, but it’s true. Shakespeare wrote “Some are born great, some achieve greatness, and others have greatness thrust upon them”. Armando and I were thrust together a couple years ago with the Herculean task of upgrading the entire tech stack for Electronic Arts' customer support division - no small task. We’ve worked together closely throughout that time and I’ve been consistently impressed by his experience, knowledge, creativity, and diligence. Armando is that guy who can review a business need, consider approaches, present the options in a way that makes sense to a non-techie like me, and (most importantly) drive, coach, and cajole the team to realize that vision. He’s also the only guy I know who can write code with only nine functional fingers after a small accident with a coach and an aggressive narcoleptic dog - still with a smile on his face and radiating positive energy. Armando is a one in a million partner who makes every team he is part of better.”
