  Jeff is what I like to call "the guy". Someone with the ability to relate the most techinical to the least technical, the most creative to the least creative, the most strategic to the least strategic and still remain friends. He is someone I'd work with again to make "the" difference and get people

  moving towards a common objective, never losing site of the big picture

  It's a pleasure to collaborate with Jeff. He's a good strategic thinker who also understands how to cut to the tactics and deliverables that will move a project forward from one day to the next. He's not afraid to challenge conventional thinking, to tackle a problem, or to make a decision. Jeff is a

  n approachable and fair customer who challenges my team to do great things - the best kind of business partner.

  Jeff Adkins is a true architect. His role at OCC was not just to be the best technical guy in the room, but rather to come up with a vision and set of abstractions that worked across the entire IT landscape of a billion-dollar Federal agency. Authentication, for example, is a messy concept when it s

  pans both internal workers, contractors, and extranet users accessing the same systems via single sign-on. Jeff designed a set of abstractions to enforce assertion-driven token management across the enterprise, leading to an elegant solution. Jeff has been a true thought leader, driving every meeting from a set of abstractions down to the concrete steps needed to realize the vision. His arguments are always logical, well researched, and forward-looking, with an eye towards how standards are converging and new technologies are emerging to solve old problems. The organization has definitely been stronger for having had access to Jeff's ideas

  I worked with Jeff in 2012 on the topic of software development process improvement. At the time we were both working for a client that is a large enterprise organization (the federal agency OCC). We were looking for methods to introduce into early stages of software requirements and design work to

  improve projects' alignment with enterprise architecture and business objectives. Jeff recommended creative and practical activities to and tools to introduce that would ensure that project teams keep the enterprise in perspective when developing their individual products. We're working now to weave some of these methods into the process. Jeff was easy to work with and his experience allowed us to work quickly and efficiently together.
