“Simon joined Google shortly after I did. He was a refreshing character who was clearly technically competent, and an excellent programmer - far better than I ever expect to be. He's unpretentious, helpful, and willing to spend time to help people who are willing to get involved. I knew him best through the opensource WebDriver and Selenium projects where he was adept at supporting a myriad of contributors, requests, while managing to gently lead both projects in the global community and throughout Google's engineers. Simon's also very generous. He recognises the contributions of others and promotes their involvement rather than making himself the centre of attention. If you've yet to see Simon speak, you're in for a treat. He manages to be witty and funny while effectively communicating his ideas on better ways to work in software engineering and testing.”
