I have had the pleasure of working with Erick for 5+ years. He has always shown a willingness to jump into any project with both feet and take ownership and work the project through to the end.
He has experience in high stress situations that he always handles with a smile on his face, and finds ways to make the situation more tolerable.
He became one of my main go to guys for VMware. One of the things that I admire most about Erick is his desire to always better himself and learn new things, always expanding his knowledge.
Any organization would benefit from having Erick on their team.

Erick is a very fast learner, he quickly catches on to new technologies and doesnt stop at the basics. When you combine that with a strong sense of responsibility that he has, you end up with someone who becomes an essential member of the team that doesn't need to be spoon fed instructions but rather takes on tasks and figures out multiples ways to complete his tasks on his own. At the same time he knows when to ask questions and has strong communications skills to match.

Erick served as a key resource on the ECM project. He always proved to be incredibly helpful and knowledgeable. He went above and beyond to organize an effective strategy.
I was grateful to have him be selected as a resource because he made the project setup go smoothly and was excellent in communicating his plan. I would not hesitate to have such a dedicated engineer on my team again.

Erick is a hard working, innovative and very well organized engineer who has made himself a prized member of the systems engineering team at Wynn. Erick is always eager to take on new tasks, never fears change and is frequently the driving force behind change towards efficiency and innovation.
Erick's strong drive has seen him climb in ranks rapidly and he continues to educate himself and his peers, never showing complacency and always eager to learn new technologies.

Everyone I know loves working with Erick! We've remained in contact after working together ages ago. I frequently look to Erick for the latest tech trends since he always seems to stay current on what's new.
His problem solving abilities are top notch, because he has a natural curiosity for discovering why things work the way they do. For example, I’m always impressed when he shows me the cool VMware projects he’s working on in his homelab.
Bottom line...Erick is driven, dedicated and most importantly, makes work FUN.

Working with Erick for 5+ years was a great pleasure. He is by and large one of the most passionate engineers I’ve come across when it comes to the tech he works with. I had the opportunity to work alongside Erick while his team completed a VMware migration from 5.5 to 6.5. He was thoughtful and pragmatic in his planning and process and made the migration much easier for our large database environment.
