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.
