Bio
Jess Fitak
I've had the pleasure of working with Dave for several years across multiple projects. It's rare to find a person with superb technical abilities who can communicate their value and vision to non-technical teams. Dave keeps everyone in mind when working towards solutions and goes out of his way to ensure the team, as a whole, is on the same page. Dave creates an environment where everyone feels supported and never misses an opportunity to share education with others. I rely on his expertise to communicate the value of front-end engineering to our Customer Success team and trust that he will always lean on best practices. He is focused on the goals we wish to achieve, and doesn't hesitate to offer a helping hand or work extra hours to meet deadlines. Dave is intelligent, proactive, self-motivated, and driven to educate others. He has continually gone above and beyond for his team, and for the teams that work alongside him. His continual excitement and positive energy motivates others to do their best work. Dave is true to the team and continually strives for the highest standards. I've thoroughly enjoyed working with Dave and wouldn't hesitate to work with him on any project in the future. His value goes beyond a typical employee. He thrives in a team environment and encourages everyone to work together for the best result. It's inspiring to know someone who is committed to being the best version of themself.

Dave and I partnered together on projects ranging in size and scope for over ten years. We have worked at multiple employers together and have also hired each other as freelancers in that timeframe as well. Dave is an extremely passionate developer with a broad skill set. He is a very design-friendly developer which makes him a sought-after collaborator who always stays true to the design and scope of work but is able to provide appropriate personal touches to elevate every project that he works on. Dave would make a great addition to any team seeking a positive, outgoing, hard-working developer.
