For reference check on To whom it may concern: It's my pleasure to recommend Samson Takele Demma as a skilled professional, knowledgeable in the development and operation of a wide variety of software products and technologies.   I worked with Samson for over two years during his tenure with AT&T. Samson was instrumental in deploying, supporting and extending the functionality of the Mobile Experience Testing Automation solution at AT&T.  Samson has consistently proven to be an eager worker and strong technical resource.  Much of the technology involved in the testing automation solution was new to Samson when he joined the project. In a very short time, with minimal training, he was able to learn to administer and troubleshoot the software, as well as using the tool to code automation scripts. During the time we worked together, Samson displayed a willingness to expand his technical knowledge and capabilities.  Samson was tasked with taking over as the supporting developer for the web service used by the test automations project to interact with the AT&T SIM provisioning system. The application is written in the Perl programming language and uses the Mojolicious web framework to present a RESTful API. Samson was able to quickly read and understand the code, troubleshoot issues and begin developing new features for the API, providing a great deal of value for the project despite having no previous Mojolicious experience. Samson possesses excellent communication skills, both written and on the phone. Most recently, Samson has made it easy for me to understand and support a new web service he created using Python Flask despite my unfamiliarity with that technology by providing myself and the team with thorough documentation and frequent updates during development.   I confidently recommend Samson Takele Demma as an experienced software professional.  Please feel free to reach out to me at-or +1 - should you like to further discuss Samson's qualifications and experience.   Regards, Nicholas Dollinger Product Manager, Mobile Experience, Inc. 300 Airport Way, Suite 201 Renton, WA 98057, United States-+1 - Recommendation Letter I worked with Samson for several months in 2016 during which he delivered solid performance in all aspects of his work. He was assigned to one of the most challenging customer accounts and he did a good job of handling this demanding customer thanks to his technical expertise and communication skills. Being able to quickly adapt to changes is crucial in nowadays business environment and Samson proved that he can promptly adjust to new processes. One of his biggest strengths are his friendly and "I can help you with that" attitude which really helps with improving the collaboration with other teams. I considered his eagerness for self-development on the highest level in the team and he could really put to use his extra programming skills – e.g. creating a script to automate the process of updating comments in one of the tools which was a painful repetitive/manual task. He also volunteered later to look into the possibilities to automate another important aspect of our work so I really appreciated his willingness to go the extra mile to help us all improve our performance. I consider the drive for self-development as one of the key attributes for a good employee in today’s demanding environment and therefore I would be happy to have Samson on my team knowing that whatever skillset/knowledge he might be missing for a certain assignment, he would be ready to invest the needed time to improve and develop to deliver the needed results. Overall, Samson is a great team player with the right attitude and I very much enjoyed to have him on my team.

I had been working with Samson for two years in AT&T Slovakia as a part of Network Engineering Team. I thoroughly enjoyed my time working with Samson, he coached me in the fields of Network Security and advanced knowledge of Automation using Python language. Samson embodies “I can help you with that” attitude which I was able to witness during the time we were colleagues. I have learned so much. Please feel free to contact me at- - should you like to discuss Samson’s qualifications and experience further. I’d be happy to expand on my recommendation. Kind Regards, Norbert Norbert Sunega ANIRA/AVTS SOHO SIM – Solution Implementation Manager Global Delivery & Assurance AT&T Global Network Services Slovakia, s.r.o. Tomasikova 64, Bratislava, 831 04 Office (SK) - - Hello, Even though I did not work with Samson in the same team , he coached and supported me in my journey to understand the world of Network engineering , security and more Network Programming. His deep knowledge in these fields is what set Samson apart from other standard engineers ; he is great with network(standard as well as currently he is working on mobile networks), and his skill with Python programming language in the use of the network field is a rare quality these days since both fields are very advanced and take time to specialise in those. I appreciate the support he provided me by live code demonstration, explaining and even education materials.
