Bio
Greg Jo
David has simply been the best tech lead I ever had as a team lead programmer. Not only because of his technical skills, his reliability and ease at having a large understanding of a new code base, but he also is a humble team player, he quickly became a key player in the whole project, and someone anyone in the team knew they could rely on him at any time. Basically, David is the unicorn that will do magic in a team and I'm grateful I got lucky enough to know and work with him!
Fredrik Lönn
I worked with David where he was my Lead system programmer when I worked as Technical director on MadMax and later on the JC3 DLC projects. David is easily one of the best system program I have worked with in my career. He is not only a really skilled low level programmer but also totally dedicated to the project. He is also one of the of these guys you really want on your team when it really matters regardless of the task. On our project David worked on everything from implementing destruction features in Havok to automating build steps needed for submission and fixing cert issues on all platforms. I have really enjoyed working the last couple of years with David and would not hesitate for a second to hire him for any project I am involved with.
