When directing Sean's work, he's always delivered on time, and been happy to adjust the work based on feedback. Sean's immediately on the short list of candidates we consider when we add someone to a project that matches his skill set.{

We very much appreciate his contributions to the Petri IT Knowledgebase.{

Melissa Davis

{Sean is an uber-mensch, one of those very rare superbly focused and immensely knowledgeable engineers who is also a pleasure to work with, indifferent to work politics, and handles difficult people with amazing skill. Even eight years ago, his grasp of technical knowledge applied to complex issues had him break-out of "entry position" in near record time to establish himself as one of the key "goto" resources. He did this in a huge and complicated environment wherein we doing technological "new-ness" on a heretofore undone scale, and with penalties looming. Sean knew intuitively that Murphy inhabits the details, and ferreted him out with attention to and incorporation of risk and impact on collateral systems. His attention and concentration, and breadth of apprehension made Sean a critical player for INS,{

{I worked with Sean at a very large insurance company where we were standing up one of the largest private networks in the United States. He exhibited an amazing depth of knowledge in routing, switching, hardware, various operating system platforms, every network connected device we discovered. He frequently provided subject matter expertise for training sessions our company provided to the customer. Sean is an absolute professional and team player. He was always more than willing to teach, mentor, or just help out when needed. I would be comfortable and happy to recommend Sean for any type of position.{

John Carr

{It is a distinct pleasure to recommend to you my esteemed colleague and long time friend Sean Wilkins. In my capacity as Senior Network Engineer I have worked closely with Sean for about a year.

As a Senior Network Engineer Sean has taken every advantage to extend his knowledge and experience in his field. He is a very friendly and likeable guy who has proven consistently that customer needs and company profit are not mutually exclusive.

Like most consulting companies, ours was organized into different levels of support. We interacted with virtually all of them. There are natural tensions between the groups which if not managed correctly can prove disastrous. Sean has always understood the old axiom that we rise or fall together and has made teamwork with others job number one for his team.{

Sean Travis

{Sean and I worked together when I began my networking career with International Network Services (INS), which later was merged into Lucent Technologies. His command and understanding of networking technologies has been unmatched by anyone I have ever met.

When we worked together, he had obtained about 24 professional certifications in less than a year, and always knew more about a given technology than anyone else he worked with. Sean is dedicated to empowering himself and others he meets, and his ability to comprehend standards, white papers, and courseware is immense.

I would not only gladly work with him again, but I would also know I had an expert around that I could learn something from.{

Theresa Hollenbeck

{Sean and I have worked together on Pearson software projects for almost two years. Sean is the author and subject-matter expert for multiple CCNA simulator products. I managed the projects that developed these products. I relied on Sean to provide guidance on the content, design, and feature set of the products. Sean also assisted with customer support. Sean has exceptionally strong knowledge of Cisco networking and related technologies, and yet he is able to effectively communicate arcane concepts to beginners and to an international audience. It's a pleasure and a privilege to work with Sean.{
