Rarely have I met a more sensible and insightful co-worker. David excels at taking seemingly complicated problems and elaborate designs and breaking them down into their basic components. Something that was essential when crafting the huge open worlds of destruction and chaos in Just Cause. He manages to walk to line between design, script and code perfectly. Balancing scalability, robustness and clarity whilst still having a keen eye for the design of the final product. Consistently approaches his work with a calm and methodical approach and a great deal of professionalism. He is a clear inspiration to the rest of his team, having had a great influence on their continued success and growth during the project. Leading by example, he is never afraid to get his hands dirty to help out wherever he can and to get the job done. Forever humble and an unsung hero that saved the project on numerous occasions. Lighthearted and grounded David additionally brings a calm to the office that is rarely experienced in the AAA games industry, but very much welcomed. I would jump at the chance at working with this fantastic designer and co-worker again and I recommend him to anyone."
