Leo Golas

Leo is a technology guru that understands all facets of the business. Leo is has deep technical experience in Security Solutions, he provides a broad range of skills to any engagement including technical go to person, project coach, mentor, and overall project leadership. My direct involvement with Leo included the implementation of CA IdentityMinder and CA SiteMinder in a complex SaaS environment, spanning public and private cloud solutions. I highly recommend Leo as an extremely skilled, well rounded individual, that can communicate to both the business and technical sides of the business.

Leo is one of the best IT people I have ever been around. He understands IT and is a very good problem solver. There have been multiple times in my working with Leo where issues have come about that he had no experience with, including new technology, and he always delivered and solved the problem. He also has very strong business sense and can communicate well with all levels. I would highly recommend Leo for any project.

Leo is a very talented Software Engineer. I know this because I had the privilege of working with Leo on a number of projects at Mycroft. He was the lead engineer in my group and he took the time to show me the ropes when I was new to the company and I learned a lot from him. He also was always available to help out even if we were on different assignments. But what really separates Leo from other IT engineers is his passion. He really loves being a Software Engineer and all that comes with it. He's also a really good guy! I highly recommend Leo Golas.

Leo is a colleague and a friend I truly enjoy working and talking with. He is fun, trustworthy, honest, and bold. Leo is always so eager to explore and better understand the world of information technology. He enthusiastically shares with me his discoveries and insights. Leo never hesitates to attack any challenges and tasks assigned to him. He carefully researches, defines, implements and delivers effective and thorough solutions.

Leo has proven to be a very detailed orientated, reliable and diverse engineer. He has proven to be capable of learning and adapting to difficult environments to meet company goals. he has also proven to be a good leader and willing to extend himself to help manage multiple tasks across projects as needed.

My first encounter with Leo was in 2011 when he hired me at my previous company (Mycroft). Ever since then we've been working well together and become friends. Leo is a very young and talented professional who has incredible insights in lots of IT fields, including but not limited to Security and latest technologies. He's constantly researching and working with new personal and enterprise products while keeping an eye on security concerns and potential flaws to investigate. He's very generous and patient, always maintaining a professional behavior even under very stressful situations and tight deadlines. I'd recommend Leo to every company that not only wants to get the job done but also goes the extra mile with requesting research, knowledge and insights about the whole environment and subject.

Leo is one of the most helpful and technical individuals that I have ever had the luxury of working with. He knows what needs to be done, at what time and in what manner. He takes accountability and makes things right the first time through. He is a true team player who appreciates new ideas from team members and never fails to help another team member out when assistance is needed. Leo has polished written and oral communication skills. He also does a good job with public speaking, doing a number of presentations both internally and externally for customers as well as potential clientele.

I worked with Leo for over a year and could not have worked with anyone better. His skills and knowledge in the IT/IS industry far exceeds anyone I have every worked with and he brings a unique and detailed oriented skill set to anyone he works for/with. He shares his knowledge freely and creates an environment that is not only friendly but very productive. I would recommend Leo to any company as he has the work ethic and skills to perform any task that is thrown his way and the ability to become an asset to any organization.

Leo is a detail oriented programmer who truly loves to code. His interest in coding and security have made him one of the best of the younger programmers in the security space. Given the opportunity I would definitely work with Leo again!

Leo makes network security infrastructures look like fields of green grass and sunflowers. I had the pleasure of working with Leo at the very beginning of my career as a software engineer. Once he saw a problem, I remember he would draw a breakdown of the issue on the nearest whiteboard or ask a series of exhaustive questions leading him to a precise visualization of what we were facing. Then he'd run through his analysis and pose a number of appropriate routes for our next execution. Leo is hands-on, thorough—especially when it comes to software architecture and infrastructure—and he's beyond capable of adapting to teams and hostile (I've seen him deal with international script kiddies/mangy hackers) virtual environments.

I had the opportunity to work with Leo at Mycroft. He was an excellent team leader and a good mentor. I had learned a lot from him. I was impressed with Leo's technical experience, especially in Cyber Security. He always keeps him updated with the latest technology. I would be very happy to work with Leo again.

Leo was always a pleasure to work with. His strong work ethic and in depth knowledge, not to mention patience, made him a valuable contributor to our identity management project.
