William Lau, Field Applications Engineer, Conexant Systems, Inc. worked directly with Michael at Conexant Systems
“I've been lucky to tap into Michael Eskin's creativity and productivity for an embedded Linux project using a new chip our company developed. Out of the myriad of ways to use our graphics accelerator in Linux, he was able to review and choose one that fit our product well. He then went on to quickly implement a DirectFB library, again working with a brand new chip, that we have added to and still use. This involved a lot of quick learning and sound judgement and was completely managed by Michael. He also added artistry to the project on the side by developing some of the GUI demonstration applications with the Qt framework. He showed an eye for graphics as well as a sense of solid UI design. I saw later that he had practiced these skills in developing many complex iPhone apps. From what I know of Michael's career, he has shown this ability to jump into new areas and master them for useful applications many times. He would be a great asset to a large variety of projects.” October 4, 2011
