  “Ralph and I worked in different departments at appendTo, but on one occasion he asked me to drop in on a training session he was conducting for a large, well-known company. I was flattered at the invitation, and once the training began, I was very impressed at how Ralph presented highly technical material with ease and fielded client questions quickly and gracefully. I had the privilege of meeting him in-person at devLink 2014, and through our conversations, came to respect his knowledge and insight even more. Ralph is a strong leader, mentor, and speaker, and would be a tremendous asset to any technically savvy company.”

  “Many times, Ralph has been a voice of reason in meetings. He is an expert at running through scenarios to identify possible breakdowns and helping come up with solutions to mitigate risk. His business knowledge is vast and he brings a high level of professionalism to every encounter. On top of the fact that he has incredible technical and leadership skills, he is also a lot of fun to work with. He is one of the people that has made my experience at appendTo feel more like I was part of a family than just some job. ”
