In the world of technology, when you find an engineer that is passionate, enthusiastic, dedicated to learning AND amazing with clients/end-users, you know you have something special. Bill is all of those things. He never hesitated to jump into a meeting, take the time to explain the technical to the non-technical, or geek out with our more advanced clients. Above all, Bill was a joy to work with. His upbeat, positive personality was something I could always count on. I hope to have the opportunity to work with him again in the future!

I have had the pleasure of working with Bill Kindle at Corsica Technologies for roughly a year now. I was tasked with taking over the cyber engineering team and Bill Kindle was a part of this team. I found out very early on that Bill was a great asset to the team and had the energy to learn and grow as well as help other members of the team without hesitation. Bill always had a great story to tell and will never let you down on the details! Bill’s knowledge within this role is unmatched and he is so well rounded with experience, making most tasks easily achievable even when he has never seen the issue prior. He is super confident when discussing cyber solutions with clients making it easier for service transition and delivery. Keep up the great work Bill and keep driving your curiosity. Highly recommend.

Bill has been part of my startup TechSnips where he created how-to videos and a guest author on my adamtheautomator.com for some time now. Bill is one of those individuals that loves to learn, takes feedback to heart and improves. He somehow manages to go the extra mile outside of his full-time job to pursue other ways to learn and help others. Bill has been an asset to me for 2+ years now.
