“I have worked directly with Davy for close to 2.5 years at Innopath. Since I joined Innopath, Davy has been very supportive and creative in getting things done for the Release and Build Engineering group. He is always on top of his duties and looks forward enough to implement the build solutions. He managed over 50 active projects almost single handedly. Automated all of build activities, integrated qa automation test suites with cruise control, kept a very detailed and precise information regarding development handoffs, releases on intranet so that anyone can trace which build contained what, where it is, when was it delivered etc.
I highly recommend him as a Build and Release Engineering Lead. I was fortunate to work with him. He works well with other team members, always available to do what is required in urgent situations.

Build system was thorough and i was glad to have a build system which kept over 99.9999% uptime. I dont remember a build failing in my memory due to build infrastructure or code. If build broke it was due to a some inconsistent checkin.”
- Gautam A., Sr. Director, QA & Release, InnoPath Software

“At InnoPath, Davy led the effort to consolidate the different build processes for several software products with diverse origins. As a result, we have one unified process that is simple to work with and monitor.

Davy is methodological and stands by his principles; he refuses to take short cuts. That is why our build and release process has been working flawlessly.” – Shun C., Principal Software Engineer, InnoPath Software

“When Davy came to InnoPath each engineering group had their own build and release process. Davy consolidated the various builds into a single automated process, provided builds for multiple product branches, and provided us with a clean and consistent version numbering system. Suddenly we had a build and release process that we could count on. Then, when development resources were tight, he used his skills to write an installer for a new product. Davy is talented, self directed, and driven to provide the best possible solution to any problem. I found Davy easy to work with and willing to do whatever it took to get the job done. I enjoyed working with Davy and I hope to work with him again in the future.”  – John B., Senior Software Engineer, InnoPath Software

“I worked with Davy on few InnoPath projects and want to continue having him as a person fully owning build and release processes. Davy is a great software developer who is very knowledgeable, capable in building completely new processes as well as maintaining existing projects. He fully owns so needed qualities such as attention to details, drive to figure out root cause of problems, warm and always friendly attitude to co-workers. He is the person a team may rely upon.” – Eugene K., Server Architect, InnoPath Software

“Davy is a multi-talented senior professional. While Davy’s technical expertise is Software Configuration Management (and was hired to design & upgrade InnoPath’s build and release engineering for all products), he also took on ownership of the software upgrade mechanism of an existing product and created a new software installer for a new product. His approach to SCM for a company is to work himself out of a job, i.e. the processes and tools are automated, compliant, integrated, and a true turnkey solution. Davy has everything you want in a senior software engineer as he takes a high level direction, creates the vision and solution (does so with good software engineering practices such as design review) and delivers. He is always open to take on new and different challenges, always helpful and with great attitude! I look forward to working with Davy again.” – Wendy M., Director, Engineering Services, InnoPath Software

“I worked with Davy to integrate our test automation framework with the build system which he helped to establish. Davy designed and implemented the workflow of the integration and display mechanism that allowed us to streamline the whole workflow from build to test. With Davy’s contribution, we had significantly increased our capacity and stability of our automated testing.” – Yufan Z., Test Automation Engineer, Thermo Fisher Scientific

“I inherited Davy after the merger of the two SCM groups between Foster City and San Jose sites as direct report. And later, during the Agile Process revolution, promoted him to the SCM Lead who responsible for managing daily activities in areas of Source Code Control and Build Management and leading the task force of designing, implementing, and rolling out the BuildFarms for all sites. Davy had demonstrated himself as high energetic, solid, and professional SCM Lead. His extensive knowledge of Build & Release methodologies and processes plus expertise in SCM toolsets benefit to any organization he is with. I am very satisfied with his work and glad to recommend David to anyone in need of experienced SCM Lead.” – Hiep N., SCM Manager, Applied Biosytems

“Davy is outstanding technically, with a strong understanding of software development and excellent programming and scripting skills. He is a great professional, knowing his field, teaching others, and making others comfortable with his expertise and leadership.” – Xi H., Business System Analyst, Applied Biosystems
