Greg Milette,
Lead Software Engineer, BAE Systems
worked with Keith A. at BAE Systems
“I worked with Keith on a project of about 6 months; Keith had worked on this project for several years. I found Keith to be, not only a wealth of knowledge on the system architecture and behavior (expected and otherwise), but also, always willing to share his knowledge. He has a very comfortable style of "mentoring" and explaining SW design details - either verbally or with a simple and effective diagram.
Keith is also a principled SW Engineer - always looking out for how to solve the problem the right way, not just the quickest way.”

This excited me to come to every class and participate as much as possible.

He was charismatic, interesting, and very knowledgeable of the subject. I'd certainly recommend Keith to anyone who admires that quality in an individual.” April 26, 2010
