Paul Harvey, V.P. Customer Services, 3PARdata

"I had the pleasure of working with Josh at Livingston Enterprises/Lucent Technologies where Josh was responsible for SQA/Beta testing for leading edge Internet Servers deployed to small to medium enterprise customers. Josh's drive allowed Lucent to test and release products that were quality in nature and ahead of schedule mainly due Josh's tenacity. Additionally, Josh was assigned an entire product line to introduce into an ever changing marketplace competing with the likes of Ascend and Cisco. Interestingly enough, our products were considered of the highest quality compared to competitors. An added benefit of employing Josh was his articulate communications style with customers during SQA testing and subsequently providing technical feedback to the development organization ensuring the changes and new requirements were placed into the product. Considering the information provided above, I would recommend Josh in all aspects of his current business venture."
