Dan Whiting
I'm referring David Hollins for recommendation. I've had the opportunity to work with David for a few years at Pure Romance, LLC, and have been consistently impressed with his diligence, efficiency, throughput, and ability to deliver value. Most recently, I was one of David reports as a Product Owner under him when he was Vice President of Software Development. We worked together to create a mobile point of sale application for Pure Romance Consultants. Through working on that product, he guided not only the success of the product, but my own career growth. He has consistently been a mentor that I can rely on to look out for my best interest as well as my team's best interest. Coming into Pure Romance, I did not have much experience in the software world, but David did not hesitate to teach me all he knew of Agile methodologies. the Scrum framework, and the Kanban framework. His knowledge of the Software Development Life Cycle in addition to Test Driven and Behavior Driven Development was of extreme importance to the growth of the Development Department within Pure Romance. The team he built is the best team I've ever been on. David's focus on team dynamics as well as best practices for development are a recipe that can be copied over and over to provide any company a strong foundation with which to build on. He will not shy away from making tough decisions. Those decisions will end up thrusting your company forward. David works empirically. He experiments, iterates, and adapts. During my acquaintance with David, he has been professional, organized, and a fantastic manager and leader. He has my highest recommendation for any position. He will not only complete what's put in front of him, but he will bring innovation into the plan.

The man who floats through walls - David Hollins. The thing I enjoyed about working for David was that he was capable of talking through lower level items like code reviews, performance evaluations to larger enterprise-wide issues like architecture, tooling, leadership and vision. No topic was off limits for open team discussion and David was more of a coach than a manager. Responsible for various levels of technology strategy and implementation, I'd want him to be in charge of my tech stack and then some - he's a leader with a technology addiction, not the other way around. This is the guy you want heading your team.

I have worked with Dave on various software projects at Siemens and outside of Siemens. Dave has a strong desire to stay current with the latest technologies and can understand and apply these technologies very quickly to the projects at hand. Dave has a firm grasp of the entire software development cycle. He has exceptional communication skills and I find Dave to be enjoyable and easy to work with on projects.
