"name": "John Purnell, SA",
"reference": "I worked with Dan for over 3yrs at Farm Journal. Dan was a technology leader in the company. He not only managed the web development team, but he also consistently provided strategic direction for many technical areas within the company. Dan also has very strong backend and frontend technical skills for web development, hosting, security, and data warehousing. Dan is a strident supporter of his team and the role of technology in an organization. I would work with Dan again and he would be a valuable addition to any company."
},
{
"name": "Jennifer Russell",
"reference": "Dan's superior technical knowledge and his drive to continually learn make him an asset to any development team or project. However, where he really shines is in his attention to detail, ability to see the big picture, and no-nonsense approach to problem-solving. During my time working with Dan, he was instrumental in streamlining and improving multiple software systems across the organization, as well as in driving cultural change in how people within the organization think about development and digital products. I would work with Dan again in a heartbeat."
},
{
"name": "Julianna Cole, MBA, PMP, CSM",
"reference": "Dan is a multi-faceted technologist who quickly added value as a member of our technology leadership team. When we hired Dan the company's technology team was still evolving - entering a phase of increased ownership for solutions that had been previously outsourced to providers with varying levels of adherence to software engineering practices. Dan quickly assessed the environment and the providers and began the process of introducing tools and techniques that allowed us to optimize our solution providers within the context of our broader technology strategy. Dan also distinguished himself as an advisor to internal product stakeholders at all levels of the organization - demonstrating a \"business first\" sensibility by posing questions that reflected an understanding of the intersection of technology, business needs and the digital ecosystem that often informs the success of feature enhancements or new products. These attributes and Dan's forthright manner helped him establish a close-knit, high-performing team that were obviously committed to supporting their leader. "
},
{
"name": "Kevin Sanji",
"reference": "During the past 7 months, Dan and I have worked together on a variety of projects in a fast-paced, dynamic work environment. As the Lead Software Engineer, Dan readily provided me with mentorship and guidance that have been invaluable to my professional growth.\n\nDan possesses a deep knowledge of PHP and web development, as well as a keen sense of structuring technology initiatives to fit business needs. His natural leadership and ability to unpackage complex problems into digestible strategy have been a massive asset to the success of our team.\n\nI highly recommend Dan to anyone with the opportunity to work with him."
},
{
"name": "Allen Ma",
"reference": "Dan and I worked together to launch over a dozen new websites built on the WordPress platform in a rapidly shifting and high pressure environment. As the Product lead, I had great appreciation for Dan's enthusiasm for working with multiple internal and external teams to take care of the thousand and one details that need to happen to get it done. \r\n\r\nOn top of his technical and operational knowledge of the WordPress backend, the \"extra\" you get with Dan is his dedication to really taking the time to learn about the business and eagerness to brainstorm ideas for how to move the business forward. \r\n\r\nI highly recommend Dan for any company that is looking for someone who brings technical, operational, and business know-how, along with a can-do attitude to the table."
},
{
"name": "Nicole Leinbach",
"reference": "Dan has consistently worked well for both my professional needs and my clients needs in a variety of web design responsibilities. In particular, his understanding of social media and SEO has shown to be invaluable. His work with re-designing my site and continued support on my site as I grow my business continues to prove successful - all while being an easy partner to work with in sometimes stressful work scenarios. I'd highly recommend him."
},
{
"name": "Brice Hartmann",
"reference": "After working closely with Dan for nearly a year I can attest to both his high level of technical ability and interpersonal skills. A countless number of times and across multiple areas of focus Dan has served as a mentor to me by facilitating an analytical approach to problem solving, all the while ensuring I learn from the experience by asking challenge questions and not simply giving quick answers. \r\n\r\nAdditionally Dan is a very well rounded developer having the ability to see situations not only from the side of technology but also from the perspective of and with respect to the needs of the business. He is undoubtedly an invaluable asset to any team due to both the direct contributions he can offer as well as how his ability to coach and collaborate can bring out the best from those around him.\r\n\r\nI look forward to any opportunity to work with Dan and strongly encourage others to do the same."
},
{
"name": "Julie Broderick",
"reference": "Dan refuses to accept failure or give up when working on a problem. I truly admire his dedication and ability to finish a project on time. Even when he was busy, he'd always make time to help anyone who came to him with issues. Dan would be a great benefit to any employer and should be a strongly considered candidate."
