Recommendations For David

Sr. Software Engineer

Agilysys

I've had the pleasure of working with Dave Rupe on a number of customer support

escalations and development projects.

Dave is the go to guy when you need the job done right and on time.

What makes Dave special is his approach. While highly detail oriented and massively

knowledgeable, Dave also is able to take the bigger picture into account thus his work

embodies the precious needs of customer, support and implementation, not just the code or

functional spec.

Dave's big picture perspective is rare among those with his skill set. If given the

opportunity, I would hire and trust Dave with any undertaking.

Sincerely,

Robb Doyle June 18, 2012

3rd Robb Doyle, Technical Support Rep III, Agilysys

worked with David at Agilysys

David is one of the most knowledgeable software architects that have worked on any of my

teams. He brings solutions to the forefront through strong analysis, structured

processing, quality assurance, code reviews and code control. It was a pleasure having

David on the team as he continually emphasized the value of top quality analysis and

review before making long-term decisions. January 15, 2008

2nd Mark Entrekin, Manager, Development Solutions, Agilysys

managed David at Agilysys

Technical Architect

InfoGenesis

David was excellent at articulating the problem at hand in terms of both business needs

and in technical description and evaluation. When working with David I was sure of the

issue to solve, the timeframe, and alternatives I could pursue should I run into trouble.

I think in our time together, I learned more about Database normalization then I had ever

before. David also had in-depth knowledge of the system's development history and quirks

that happened prior to his involvement. This was invaluable in our market since most of

the time, newer employees are not able to acquire information from previous developers.

Somehow, David knew more about these systems that his time allowed. Quite impressive.
