Bio
Paul Larson
Denny is a great developer and coworker. When we started working together, he helped make me a better developer by encouraging me to code in a with security, performance and modern/best practices in mind. He instilled the same mindset in the team and our codebase improved greatly.
Brian Parks
Denard is the consummate professional developer - a "developer's developer" if you will. His coding skills, attention to detail, creativity, and technical leadership are some of the most exemplary I've seen in my lengthy IT career. He was instrumental in crafting the coding standards for our organization and created a "beans & services" generator on which our platform's data layer is built. I can't calculate the many thousands of developer hours saved by his ingenuous app. He doggedly enforced coding standards and always provided the "tough love" needed in code reviews, and also has a firm grasp on how to lock down an application with multiple inventive security features. Denard was always my "go to" when I was mired in an issue that surpassed my own skills, and was always open and available and willing to help. With all this and his high-profile presence in the CF community, he is an invaluable asset to any dev shop.
