Bio
David Dworkin
Derek is a professional in every sense of the word. He is extremely helpful to his entire team, always willing to sort difficult issues and share the depth of his knowledge, which is somewhat staggering. Whether the issue requires knowledge of video standards, networking or an obscure undocumented tribal detail, Derek has a solution and can lay out a bread crumb trail to follow. It was absolute fun to work with Derek and climb that mountain of knowledge together. Derek has an amazing personality and incredible ability to diffuse the most intense situations. This pairs well with his diplomacy and his genuine care and concern about his co-workers. These key distinctions make Derek a valuable asset to any team. I recommend Derek without reservation. I am very glad to have had the opportunity to work closely with him while at Christie Digital Systems. It is easy to respect Derek and to want to work hard for him and with him. He is a top notch team player and I really enjoyed working with him.
