March 31, 2022, Daniel managed William "Hawke" directly.

Hawke’s broad expertise, deep knowledge, security-first mindset, detailed documentation, and ability to stay abreast of current technology trends is remarkable. It's been fantastic working together -- Hawke’s work ethic is impeccable. He is a tremendous coach and mentor and was always the first person to offer help and support to his team. Hawke brings a unique skill set and breadth of experience that would benefit any organization. Overall, Hawke was truly a pleasure to work with and I have no qualms recommending him for senior technology leadership roles. Thanks, Hawke!

I had the pleasure of working with Hawke Robinson on a very challenging project. Apart from his diverse technical expertise, what amazed me was his level of meticulousness and thoroughness in solutioning. He leaves no stones unturned and got some great solutions to the table for our academic setting. His collaborative approach to working with the open-source community surely gives him an edge. I will be happy to work with him on another challenge if the opportunity presents itself. Hawke will be a great asset to any organization that hires him.

Hawke is one of the "very few CTOs who possesses not only the ability to execute complex technical tasks, but the high-level soft knowledge that maintains team cohesion, communication with non-technical partners, and essential support in investor pitch meetings" --Ben Dobyns, CEO, The Fantasy Network, and Zombie Orpheus Entertainment

[as CTO] Hawke was an outstanding leader with the highest level of integrity. He took a rag tag team of developers and built an amazing department through coaching and leading by example. Hawke is a perfect blend of business man meets technical maven. I would recommend Hawke to any company looking for a stand-up leader, with great people skills and a broad understanding of technology. --Brian Scardina. Directory, Application Security at TSYS.

"...my unequivocable endorsement of Hawke Robinson’s skills as an experienced, world-class Chief Technology Officer." "... I credit our success to the enterprise-level knowledge, support, and experience that Mr. Robinson brought to our company. His ability to design well-documented, scalable solutions that meet new and emerging needs is a gift to whomever hires or contracts him." "There are very few CTOs who possess not only the ability to execute complex technical tasks, but the high-level “soft” knowledge that maintains team cohesion, communication with non-technical partners, and essential support in investor pitch meetings. Mr. Robinson is one of them." -- Ben Dobyns, COO The Fantasy Network and CEO Zombie Orpheus Entertainment.

I can unequivocally recommend Hawke Robinson as a person of high integrity and one of the very best technicians that I have ever worked with. I have worked with him on several teams and diverse projects and he has ALWAYS exceeded the expectations of the mission. His detailed knowledge and unyielding dedication make him an ideal choice for any effort on any team. One of the brightest and most dedicated individuals I have ever met, Hawke is a highly skilled technician as well as a uniquely talented individual. He demonstrates outstanding leadership abilities, an unparalleled work ethic and enjoys tremendous success in all efforts he undertakes. Finally, and perhaps most importantly, he is an extremely pleasant person to work around. I can recommend Hawke Robinson as a person and technician without reservation. -- Phillip Hillian, Data Systems Engineer, April 8th, 2011 - https://www.linkedin.com/in/hillian/

Hawke is largely responsible for the developer I am today. While at MightyWords, he sort of took me under his wing and gave me the room to expand my knowledge and make a massive impact on the technical operations of the company while providing opportunity after opportunity to let me learn, grow and put my new-found knowledge to work. His knowledge is amazingly broad and deep and he is able to see the big picture for any project and get the right people in the right places at the right time to make it all come together. On a personal level, he is one of the most generous and friendly people I have ever had the pleasure of knowing. This engendered a loyalty to him that I still haven't shaken. I consider him a natural leader for all of these reasons. --Rob Zazueta. Director of Digital Strategy at TIBCO Software Inc. August 29th, 2009. https://www.linkedin.com/in/techknowme

"Hello! I was a counselor at the MDA 2017 Summer Camp and participated in both the Battle Royale and the Adventure Quest. All I can say is that you are AWESOME. My shy camper completely opened up for the
first time during the Battle Royale and had the best time. I know that it was his favorite activity from the camp! Plus, he loved that he got to decorate and keep his very own shield. Thank you for everything that
you do. I'm forever grateful to you! " --Emily Fejeran, Aug 08, 2017 11:10 AM. Muscular Dystrophy Association http://www.mda.org
