Carson is unparalleled at simplifying and communicating complex technical concepts into relatable insights for situational clarity... I’ve seen Carson dissect thorny issues, provide recommendations that move the needle, and make hard truths palatable – a rare gift. He is also the type of problem solver I want on my team, not matter what we are attempting. It’s without hesitation that I highly recommend Carson, if you are looking for a knowledgeable leader for your project or an indispensable team member for your organization.
Carson led a team that helped us secure our network security during a very challenging time. Network security is crucial in the law-enforcement profession, and we trusted him to get the job done.
Carson is one of those all too rare technology people who can think and speak like a non-tech leader. He has the deep technical skills to analyze a situation, thoughtfully outline the risks, ask insightful questions, and then design a practical solution. Carson has worked with two of my companies to resolve server problems. In every instance, he has been methodical in identifying the issues, generous in sharing knowledge with non-technical employees, and focused on executing the plan.
