“Brad is incredible to work with, and I wish I knew more about DevOps to truly appreciate the depth and breadth of his knowledge (from my viewpoint, it's immeasurable!) Nonetheless, I'd like to comment on three items in particular that stand out because of their rarity, as well as their importance in cultivating a top-notch engineering culture. First: Brad makes everyone around him more productive and more effective. I think that's the mark of a senior engineer and a quality I will constantly seek to emulate—Brad takes the efforts of his teammates, and multiplies their effects. Whether through software or systems, he consistently enables others to move faster and drive more business impact. Second: Brad never settles. He has the expertise to know when something (whether an app or our infrastructure) can be better, but beyond that—he drives action to ensure that it *becomes* better. Simply put, he walks the walk. While others might stop at "I wish this would be fixed," Brad is 10 steps ahead, improving or building the next system. Lastly: Brad is a great teacher. Most of what I know about DevOps I owe to Brad! I think this ties into my first point, and it comes as no surprise. Brad took the time to teach me about platform, infrastructure, and "how to fish." Because of this, I was able to be more independent (allowing Brad to help others), as well as teach other engineers on my team (thus, multiplying Brad's effects). Brad takes the time to "invest" in others, and because of that, the teams and company as a whole becomes better. Brad was great to work with, and I sincerely hope I get the chance to do so again. Thanks, Brad!”
