Chay’s professional character is beyond reproach.

It is my expressed opinion that Chay is responsible to his obligations, respectful to others, very professional and devoted to maintaining any commitment that he has in front of him. As a Security focused professional, Chay uncovered and discovered many security threats on Web.com’s (Interland.com) corporate servers and assisted countless customers with security issues on their sites.

One quality that has always stood out is his integrity.

I've known Chay for well over three decades and have had the privilege to work with him both in the classroom and through our professional careers.

Chay approaches challenges with both discipline and humility—delivering strong outcomes, then proactively refining and improving them in pursuit of excellence.

Any company that hires Chay will find their money well spent.

I strongly recommend Chay Butler for any job that requires quick thinking, great organizational skills, logical thinking, and a pleasant demeanor. I had the pleasure of being his boss at Zenovia Digital Exchange, Corp. Chay assisted in the software development, building of reports, and a dashboard for the company, making our jobs much easier. While at ZDX, he implemented a new revenue tracking system that resulted in a much smoother process. Chay was efficient and effective in his professional role, but also took the time to engage coworkers and clients with a genuine interest in how they were doing. I wish all our employees could be as kind and friendly as Chay.
