Here are some things I know from my 2+ years working with Kevin Downs:
First, he delivers results: Not only does he deliver them reliably, consistently, and with a depth of insight only years of experience can bring, he delivers them in a way that is calm, assured, complete, and competent. Every. Single. Time.
There’s never a question about whether Kevin knows how a particular feature works, where the project stands, or how it’s performing for customers. Not only does he know, he makes it his business to know earlier and better than most others in the organization.Leon Adato, Principal Technical Evangelist at Kentik
