<h4><i class="icon-plus"></i> Leadership Training</h4>

I went through a 40 hour leadership training course once I became a Manager at HomeFinder.com. I received the training in 2009 and it was conducted by Bill Joy, Founder of <a href="http://www.thejoygroup.com/">The Joy Group</a>. Honestly, I was reluctant about having to spend an entire week at a training session, but in the end I was 100% satisfied with what I learned. I highly recommend The Joy Group to anyone that is looking for great leadership/management training.

<h4><i class="icon-plus"></i> From Karl Kell, Senior Manager, Sophia Software Engineering at Wellspring Worldwide</h4>
<p>July 4th, 2024</p>
<p>
<blockquote cite="https://www.linkedin.com/in/sanderseric/details/recommendations/">
I have always loved working with Eric and I've had the lucky opportunity to do so for around 10 years after being part of the interviewing team that initially hired him at Wellspring. I don't feel it's facetious to say that Eric is the best Software Engineer I've personally worked with. He not only picks everything thrown at him up with ease, but he deeply comprehends it. Not only the technology behind it, but the business, the domain, he plunges all of himself into every aspect of what he does at a company and it shows every day.
<br /><br />
In addition to Eric's notable skills as a Software Engineer, he is an even better peer. Eric is consistently friendly and professional. In my time working with Eric I saw him organize and bring together cross-department events; even between departments that wouldn't normally interact much like Marketing and Operations. Eric would set up lunches, create a friendly team atmosphere via optional off-hours events such as a bowling league or softball team, and throughout it all he not only brought people together and improved morale, he made people better at their jobs. Whether by offering new insights from a different point of view, or through mentorship via his own experiences, Eric's
involvement consistently made work efforts more successful.
<br /><br />
I genuinely cannot recommend Eric enough as a co-worker.

<h4><i class="icon-plus"></i> From Rebecca O'Brien, Manager, Sophia Software Engineering at Wellspring Worldwide</h4>
<p>June 13th, 2024</p>
<p>
<blockquote cite="https://www.linkedin.com/in/sanderseric/details/recommendations/">
I had the pleasure of working with Eric at Wellspring for 3 years. Eric took a keen interest in my professional growth, as he did for everyone on our team. Eric excels as an engineer, a leader, and a mentor. As a manager, Eric is both fair and conscientious, with a knack for identifying opportunities for growth within his team and fostering an environment where that growth can happen. As an engineer, Eric has an eye for detail and an unwavering commitment to high standards. His focus on standards also comes through as a mentor; when Eric identified areas team members could excel he consistently took opportunities to expand our knowledge and involvement in engineering as a whole. Eric will bring experience, leadership, and mentorship to any team he joins.

<h4><i class="icon-plus"></i> Softare Engineer, Infosys Technologies LTD</h4>
<p>July 2006 - October 2007</p>
<p>
I was recruited as one of the first Americans to complete a six month training and work program in Mysore and Bangalore, India. This training strengthened technical skills in various areas including Java, J2EE, C, unit testing, and SQL. During this period I also gained hands on experience with the Global Delivery Model as well as the Software Development Life Cycle.
</p>
<p>
Once I returned to the United States I was contracted to ABN-AMRO / LaSalle Bank in the LaSalle Business Credit division. While working there I provided application support for the Asset Based Lending Environment (ABLE) application. I also coordinated software updates and installations while using tools such as Peregrine and Test Director to manage tasks with the client and IBM.
