Recommendations

4 people have recommended Justin.

I worked with Justin across a series of complex engagements where he served as the senior technology lead, including modernization efforts in highly regulated healthcare and financial environments, as well as multiple programs in the manufacturing technology space. In each case, he was brought in when the stakes were real and the work needed to create measurable value. What separates Justin from most technical leaders is his ability to translate business into technology. He does not overcomplicate or hide behind jargon. He listens carefully, distills what actually matters, and simplifies scope to align with outcomes. In high-risk builds, especially those operating under regulatory pressure, that ability is critical. I saw this firsthand in a healthcare and financial engagement where expectations shifted frequently and complexity could have easily derailed progress. Justin consistently met the moment. He calmed stakeholders, clarified tradeoffs, and made pragmatic architectural decisions that kept the work moving forward. Beyond his technical depth, working with Justin was genuinely enjoyable. He shows up energized, empathetic, and ready to roll. He brings a steady, positive presence to difficult conversations, which makes a real difference in enterprise environments where tension can run high. If I were leading a high-risk build that needed to drive real value, Justin is exactly who I would bring in. I would recommend him without hesitation to any organization navigating modernization, regulatory complexity, or enterprise transformation.
