Recommendations
All of the following recommendations are from my LinkedIn profile.
Steve Goodhall: Site Manager SYNC Technologies (managed me indirectly)
“Doug was a key to our success at Detroit Public Schools. Under difficult circumstances and a tight deadline he was able to structure and edit a diverse collection of documentation provided by a gang of anarchistic techies. It would be a pleasure to work with him again.” July 3, 2008
Other details
In 2006 I was hired at SYNC, a privately held company established in 1989. I worked there for about a year and a half prior to accepting a position at BlueRock Technologies where I worked for one year. At the end of this year I went back to SYNC. To avoid confusion I combined these experiences in the description above.
