References and Testimonials

David was an excellent performer within the UII (Upromise Investments Inc.) organization and received the promotion to Principal QA engineer as a result. He was highly motivated to learn and master the understanding and implementation of the sophisticated system of feeds, environments, and systems within UNIX, Oracle, and Sungard Omni that work together to create what is the Upromise 529 transaction system in order to test it effectively and find problems and verify their resolutions. David contributed to the overall success of the UII products and can be relied upon to test key product areas in both pre-release and (patch) situations under time and load pressures.

"David is a very savvy seasoned tester. He has the rare blend of understanding the requirements and testing process with a good understanding of development processes and software architecture. Through years of testing experience David, is able to quickly plan and execute tests and become effective quickly upon engagement. He is easily adaptable to many environments and is not afraid to learn new skills in order to accomplish a job. David is a wonderful senior addition to any testing team and can easily carry the lead role."

"I hired, and then supervised David for ten months at Stratus before I left the company. He is an excellent software testing engineer, with a solid understanding of all aspects of the software development lifecycle. He was assigned to design and execute the testing on a brand new product that contained little documentation or process. He accepted this challenge, and worked very well with the project lead, developers, and user community to release an excellent product. He developed significant automated testing for the product using Segue Silk, which was then used in several subsequent releases. He was a key contributor to the success of this project, and I would be very happy to work with him again in the future."

"Perhaps the most important aspect of David's role was his input and direction with regard to the UI design and overall usability of the iReport application -- browse through the QTS issues for iReport and you'll find David's handprint on the iReport UI design throughout his many suggestions and bugs. New users introduced to the iReport screens can easily follow the flow of the application and intuitively understand the navigation & on-screen functions."

"Dave was one of those go-to type people managers love to have on your team. You want your staff to be all over the technical details, to contribute to the strategy effort consistently, not afraid to raise the tough issues in a constructive way, and always seeing the bigger picture of what they are doing. Dave naturally did all that and more at UPromise. When the inevitable roadblocks come, I'd rather be in a vehicle with someone who is already looking for a way around or over them. This is what Dave represented."

"Wow, it's great David! Thank you so much. It's so wonderful to have a website for my art. Already a bunch of people have seen the new site-and people are really impressed with the actual website- how smoothly it moves, (and how quickly), as well as how well it's designed. Of course, I agree with all of them! Plus I really like the way that the whole site is set up- the layout, the color of the text. It's pretty amazing and I feel very lucky to have a (webmaster) who is awesome at designing websites....you have such a wonderful sense of design alongside your technical knowledge."

"I first met David when I was having a computer meltdown. From the beginning to the end of a computer software and hardware rebuilding process, David was knowledgeable and professional. David did a great job of explaining the process and following up with me. It is a rare individual who has the technical expertise as well as the "people' side, David has both. He is now my go to guy for any and all computer related issues I have."

As a realtor who does a tremendous amount of work out of my home, I couldn't be without my computer for even 24 hours. And recently, when I moved from a house to a condo, I needed that transition to occur as seamlessly as possible. David was willing to come to my condo even before the movers had all the furniture in place, and begin setting up my system. Before the end of the day, I was on line and back in business. And thanks to David we even added wireless access so that my daughter could bring her laptop home from college and use it in her room. What a difference that will make. Thank you David, for being responsive, and an expert at what you do!

"Thanks for your help and the excellent service."

"Friday's demonstration of the check writer system was excellent. Not only does this system enable us to meet the Department's needs better and faster, it will also enable us to meet more of the Department's needs. Again I want to thank you for your work on this excellent system and to congratulate you on a very professional demonstration."

"The time and effort you that you put into the development and implementation of the Finance Check Writer System is a big plus for our side. Keep up the good work and again congratulations and thank you for a job well done."

"I want to take this opportunity to congratulate you on your excellent job performance in the design, programming, and testing of the Check Writer System. Because of your efforts, Finance is now capable of processing checks more effectively, enabling us to better serve our clients. Thank you for a job well done."

"I would like to take this opportunity to congratulate you for a job well done on the 707 Tracking System. As you know, this project was critical in nature and thanks to your hard work and continuing efforts, you succeeded in developing and implementing and effective program. "
