Bio
John Hoeschele
David Furber is without question one of the best programmers, and thoughtful 'web' professionals, I've ever had the privilege of working with. He knows a ton about a wide range of web platforms and tools; thinks strategically and deeply about the problem he is being asked to solve; he's an effective communicator (and infinitely patient in 'dumbing things down' for a dummy like me -- fyi, I was his client while at Anaren, and more precisely, a non-technical marketing communications manager!) and he's a genuinely nice guy to boot. I welcome the chance to work with David again...and look forward to it! JH
Jessica Schinazi
David is an extremely talented engineer who understands business needs and strategic vision and brings them to life through innovative, elegant and highly-efficient deliverables. He goes above expectations to continuously innovate and improve projects. He's both detail-oriented and design-conscious. I am very grateful for our collaboration for the past three years, and warmly recommend his work.
