"David and I worked together for many years at Altium, with David in a technical writer role. In that time David was a reliable worker, who always took pains to understand technically what he was writing about. Given that we produced electronics CAD software this was no easy task, and is indicative of David's technical skills.
Often David would go above and beyond a pure technical writer role, for example he put together many releases of our SDK package, which involved understanding our product's internal APIs, creating examples using these APIs, as well as documenting the APIs. David's background as a programmer was invaluable for this kind of task. I would recommend David into any technical writer role, particularly where the technical content is challenging."

Ben Wells , Director, Embedded Intelligence , Altium. Managed David indirectly at Altium
Having known David for over 12 years at Altium, we've crossed paths and worked alongside each other on numerous occasions. David - exceptional in every way - is dedicated, perservering, sincere, very humourous, alert and approachable, and makes it easy to converse with him. Combined with his discipline, organisation skills and knowledge of specialising in high and low level programming, it's no wonder he's been successful in producing thorough, comprehensible online help and technical manuals for end consumers and programmers."
I absolutely recommend David in wherever and whatever he pursues, since I foresee him mastering his projects/endeavours and taking them to extraordinary levels. December 4, 2009
