David is a talented, fast, and highly productive developer who is able to manage a heavy workload in a very fast-paced environment. He has a great attitude, is willing to learn new things, and will stay on a project through final delivery giving itwhatever it takesto complete the task.

(Web) Designer/Developer, National Geographic
David's enthusiasm is at the heart of all the characteristics that we, at National Geographic, value him for. David is able to juggle not only a large amount of tasks at once, but does it with an amicable and professional manner that builds not only trust but a personal rapport with many of his colleagues. Being a colleague of David's, I've seen what his positive attitude can do to a team. He's contributed greatly in all aspects of our team, from being an active, wise and approachable participant in group critiques to fostering and contributing to our group's strategic discussions, large and small. Often taking the reigns as the lead on the Front End Development of projects, David has always been proactive about the projects he's worked on. This, coupled with a good professional peripheral vision of concepts such as visual and interaction design, make David is a solid team player in any sized web project or team. I'm excited to see where David's aptitude, attitude and approach take him throughout his career and can't recommend him highly enough.

David is dedicated to constantly improving his skills and techniques, never content to rely on his previous knowledge as a crutch. This thirst is a direct result of his always genuine enthusiasm. He cares about doing a quality job and not just getting the assignment done. His energy is infectious and an asset few I've worked with possess. Whenever I'm asked to recommend a front-end designer/developer for projects, he's the first one that always comes to mind.
