To whom it may concern,
I am writing on behalf of Clay Le Beouf regarding his recent position working at Cardinal Health. Clay and
I have worked together for around 1.5 years on multiple projects of varying complexity and
technologies. During that time, I have gotten to know Clay well on a personal, functional, and technical
level and willingly vouch for his capabilities working as a technical lead, developer, support lead,
architect, or business analyst – all responsibilities of which Clay held and excelled at during his time at
Cardinal Health. Clay reported to me day-to-day and proved extremely worthy as a teammate, getting
along very well with IT leadership, peer technical resources, and business clients.
Clay is a pleasure to work for many reasons, one being his positive attitude. Many people use this as an
opener, but Clay truly defines staying positive. Whether during a weekend deployment that ran late, an
extremely complex solution that needed tiring investigation, or listening to the business clients change
scope last minute, Clay’s attitude never changed – always ending with ‘sure thing’, or ‘will get right on
it’. One specific example of this was when Clay took it upon himself to ensure a deployment would finish
before the next business day and was up all night monitoring the installation. This showed another one
of his qualities, tenacity – I cannot express enough how Clay is willing to go the extra mile for the team.
Architecturally, Clay showed his knowledge of the latest application designs and partnered well with the
other IT teams in support of the designs. We constructed a three-tier (core, app, presentation) zone
which required database, app/web servers, firewall protection, load balancers, single sign-on
networking, and DNS maintenance – Clay acted as the single point of contact for all dynamics of the
solution and would engage resources from the other support teams after his initial investigation would
identify the root cause.
From a development perspective, Clay is well versed in many of the top development languages used by
most companies and showed he is able to work independently on assignments and complete them on-
time, and of good quality. We challenged him in .Net, ASP.NET, C#, SQL, HTML/CSS UI rendering, 3rd
party API integrations, etc. One example of where Clay excelled was during a business request to build
out an online enrollment system for multiple services which are offered to clients – historically managed
through hundreds of pages of paper forms. Clay acted as a business analyst, design lead, tester, and
single developer to create an application that exceeded the expectations of his clients due to the quick
turnaround, look and feel, and stability of the solution. He loves to learn the business first,
communicates with all teams, and then effectively develops – which you do not come by often in the
pool of development candidates.
If you’re looking for someone who knows Sitecore, look no further. Clay has developed, designed, and
content managed his way through years of Sitecore (from 4+ to 7+). The latest project he supported our

2. organization for was upgrading from Sitecore 6.x to 7.x and consolidating multiple silo Sitecore instances
into one platform. Part of this solution manages 800+ micro-sites on one Sitecore instance, which has
global/type inheritance, mobile responsive design, and many modules available for business users to
pick from. I’m extremely confident that he can take on any Sitecore responsibilities, whether they are
single site, multi-site builds or supporting and enhancing an already implemented site.
Should you have any more questions regarding Clay’s personal, functional, and technical capabilities
please do not hesitate to reach out to me per the phone number provided above. I also can share
feedback (all positive!) from the business clients who worked closely with Clay while at Cardinal.
Best,
Tim Gabel
