Testimonials
Check what colleagues have said about my work
I was Garry's supervisor for over a year and would highly recommend his technical skills as a developer. He was able to consistently deliver high quality work above what was expected. I would work with him again in an instant.
I worked with Garry for more than 2 years at NextGen on the Inpatient Financial Solution when I was a QA Analyst. Garry was always willing to help me understand what happens on the "backend"! He spent many hours with me developing functionality around a project that needed to be released in record time to meet certain government requirements.
Garry has a really good understanding of healthcare medical billing/revenue cycle management and EDI requirements. He was my most valuable resource when I needed to know how the application behaved - we collaborated on most everything! His work ethic is beyond reproach and I am truly grateful to have had the opportunity to work with him.
Garry West was a SharePoint/.Net/SQL Developer at HighPoint Digital for over one year. I hired him as a SharePoint Developer but later discovered his versatility as a very capable and professional .Net and SQL Developer along with his SharePoint Developer skills.
He was a joy to work with and was consistently looking for ways to improve customer experiences via the use of technology. Rarely did I hear from him that he was apprehensive about working on a new project or task. Instead, he was eager to learn, grow and teach other Developers within the team about his newly learned skill(s).
If you are considering hiring Garry, you will be pleased to have a strong, technically astute Developer within your organization.
