David Ely possesses expertise in ldap, solaris, java, linux, software development and 10 more skills. Colleagues describe him as "I've worked with David off and on for over 6 years. David is clearly one of the most intelligent and productive people I've ever worked with. His ability to cut through the nonsense and drive to get things done is invaluable whether in technical or management roles. Few engineers possess the willingness much less the ability to transition between projects and roles with such ease. Lastly, his sense of humor and wit keep everyone around him smiling and on their toes." and "David Ely is one of the best employees I have ever managed or worked with. He is also solidly in the list of the top-5 best engineers I have ever known. During his tenure at Sun Microsystems, he quickly became the Technical Lead for any project he was assigned to and his first management job was over a multi-national development team. He was superb and brought the same level of productivity and excellence to management that he demonstrated as an engineer. There is no doubt that David Ely will become a C-Level executive someday. If you are confident enough to have people much more talented than you working for you, David should be at the top of your to-hire list. He has always exceeded my expectations."
