Endorsements

Rugamba has delivered a lot of great work for the team. He has been very thorough in testing his code both through automated unit tests and manual testing in his local environment. His last two deliverables (big features that he took on himself and ran with) made it through QA with very minor changes and phase 1 certification (a crucial step to meeting our end of year goal) was a breeze for those. We made more progress as a team than I thought we would and we couldn’t have done it without him.
