“Calling Caleb a ball of energy would be an understatement. He is a passionate technologist who enjoys sharing his knowledge with his clients. He worked with our enterprise configuration management team to setup our TFS installation and did an excellent job.”
“Caleb is one of my top influentials … I can rely on him for input on what Microsoft is planning as well as depend on him to deliver high-quality sessions at our events. He’s always willing to volunteer his time to help us make sure that community events are first-rate and always does a great job presenting at them. He cares passionately about the local developer community, and Silverlight in particular. Caleb is a dynamic and popular speaker, and I’m glad he’s working on our extended community team!”
“Caleb excels at getting a room excited about technology. His presence encourages participation and he bringds complex topics down to a level that everyone in the room can understand. When listening to Caleb talk about a new technology or product, I’ve felt that he had a solid understanding of the subject and that he was prepared to present and handle obscure audience questions. His consistent dedication to getting the tools and technologies that developers need to build quality software into our hands has been a great benefit to our project.”
