Richard Puckett

“I was extremely glad when we were able to bring Richard onboard. He hit the ground running, diving into an Android project we had inherited that was in dire straits. Not only did he get it back on track for launch, but he also got it ready for future versions. Since then he's never missed a bit, continuously delivering great work while inspiring the company and clients setting up interactive art installations using Arduino, Kinect, NFC and more, and always willing to share his knowledge. Richard will be a true asset to wherever he lands next. If I got a chance to work with him again I would in an instant.”

“I've had the pleasure of working with Richard for all of his time at Smashing Ideas - from enthusiastically recommending we hire him to being wowed by the latest projects he whipped up in down time. As an iOS and Android dev Richard was a vital part of the SI team - comfortably taking the lead on projects either as a team head or as sole developer. As a manager and technologist he continually introduced and enthused about new platforms and solutions. If he wasn't cranking away on a critical deadline project you could find him playing around with NFC, or wiring up a Kinect installation for the office lobby, or leading a brown-bag presentation on Arduino, or ... Wherever he decides to work next I have every expectation he will continue to bring his extraordinarily deep software engineering experience and, maybe more importantly, his true love for emerging technology.”
