David Kovacic Email & Phone Number

David Kovacic is a Sr. Technical Lead - Build Group at Case Western Reserve University. Colleagues describe him as "I worked with Dave for several years at Case, and I invited him to join LinkedIn precisely because I wanted to write this unsolicited recommendation. Dave is an outstanding engineer. His work is of the highest technical quality, and always addresses the issue at hand in a truly comprehensive way. For example, after implementing a new email system at Case, a less conscientious engineer might have considered the project complete, or relied on vendor-provided tools to monitor and troubleshoot the system. Dave, however, could see that more sophisticated performance analysis tools were necessary. --So he wrote them. These were not quick hacks, but high-quality, well-designed, bulletproof graphical interfaces. To accomplish this, he taught himself the necessary languages and APIs. He also handled the relevant budgeting, policy development, system integration and user documentation components of the overall project. This example is not an exceptional occasion; all of Dave's work reflects solid design. The IP management system he designed and implemented years ago remains a cornerstone of Case's IT infrastructure, and helped Case win Computerworld's 2007 "Best Practices in Infrastructure Management" award, in the "Network Management" category. Dave's value to his department can be seen in the great respect his colleagues show him, and the comeraderie of the team he manages. No engineer is more dedicated to the success of the organization than he is. Hire Dave if you get the chance."
