Since knowing Rashaad from when he was an undergraduate computer science student, Rashaad has shown much passion, joy, and desire to be a programmer. I am very impressed with his work ethic and his ability to improve.
Dr. Mir Hasan, PhD
Austin Peay State University
Department of Computer Science Professor
Mr. Washington was a former student of mine, whom I take pride in sharing that I have taught him the elements of Software Engineering. As his professor, I have personally witnessed his growth and development through his engineering-like reasoning and his work. Mr. Washington’s most impressive work that I have witnessed was his final project in which he developed a note-taking software application entitled “ScribeSharp”. It was truly astonishing and was given high remarks from his former peers and myself as well. Nonetheless, Mr. Washington’s natural ability and passion to always improve leaves no doubt that he will accomplish greater tasks and feats.
