“Dave is a terrific coworker and out of the box thinker. He is an excellent consultant to any Web project and is a valued contributor to any committee. His Web expertise and hunches are always spot on and I can count on him to have his finger on the pulse of all the newest social media and Web developments. Dave is also a great CSR and is very customer oriented. He does not settle for the bare minimum and always looks for ways to improve a current process or technology. A pleasure to be on a team with.”

Content Management System 4
I worked on the three person team that rewrote Grand Valley's custom CMS from the ground up to be mobile friendly. We worked to ensure that all of the users at the university would be able to easily create their site, in a way that was mobile friendly by default. The project was written with Oracle SQL, Coldfusion and jQuery/javascript. We used the Bootstrap framework as the platform for the administrative side, and wrote a custom responsive front end for the public side.
