“Security expertise and creative problem solving have proven to be very rare traits to come by when working with software service providers. My organization found Dakota and his attention to detail very refreshing when we began our security review and initiative with Smartsheet. I'm very glad I had Dakota as a resource while handling a security incident. He assisted my team in finding the best solutions to our remediation tasks. His continuous monitoring of our situation reassured me that we would have the help we needed in the worst case scenario. I am looking forward to having another opportunity to work with Dakota, hopefully at a time when my hair isn't on fire.”

Volunteer Recruiting Application

A .NET application that estimated workload staff members will need to balance throughout the week to achieve specific tasks. The volunteer recruiting app saved our director from tedious calculations and helped the staff members calculate day-to-day activities more efficiently. This application was used internally by a major National Election Campaign Headquarters in multiple states.
