Recommendations for Daniel Brannon

Following is a collection of recommendations and testimonials from former colleages and clients attesting to my skills, knowledge, professionalism and performance level.

“Dan's rich experience in software development and management shines through in his ability communicate with both engineers and business managers in terms that each understands. As a consultant, Dan works very quickly to understand root causes of challenging software infrastructure problems and to create solution proposals with relevant cost/benefit analysis so engineering leaders & managers are able to make joint, informed decisions with confidence.”
Karl Liu, Sr Director, OEM Operations, Corel TW Corp.
“Dan worked for me for some time, and we also worked in separate groups at Sonic Solutions. Dan is an outstanding architect and infrastructure designer. He maintains his cool under pressure and works very hard to provide great service to internal customers. At Veritas DMD and then Sonic, Dan built a product delivery system that could accurately build thousands of automatic product variations, enabling us to service hundreds of OEM customers.”
Sean Penn, Sr Product Director, Web Products & Services, Sonic Solutions

“Dan has an extraordinary depth of technical knowledge in software build systems, automation and Windows installers. He architected and managed the development of enterprise wide software development tools with impressive capabilities. Dan is a great guy to work with, and I would recommend him without hesitation.”
Tom Vaughan, Director of Product Management, Sonic Solutions
managed Daniel indirectly at Sonic Solutions
“I worked with Dan for about seven years, and I have a world of respect for him and his accomplishments. Sonic has a pretty amazing build system that would not exist if not for Dan's efforts. Dan is as adept at solving development problems as he is at managing a project. He is a bright guy who thinks through problems logically, communicates them, and solves them. He is easy to get along with, and a consumate professional. Dan is among the best.”
Greg Montalvo, Senior Engineering Manager, Sonic Solutions
worked with Daniel at Sonic Solutions
“I've worked with with Dan since 1995. In that time I have seen him grow from a developer into a senior manager and development architect. Dan has a great understanding of build systems, client/server architecture, and infrastructure needs for a company. He was able to grow software designed to handle 40 people into an enterprise application capable of handling over 700 people.”
Robert Teshinsky, Sr Mananger, Sonic Solutions
worked with Daniel at Sonic Solutions
“Dan is a highly skilled programmer and manager. His attention to detail, and superior design concepts were extremely beneficial to our team and to the entire company. Often when no one else could find a cause or solution to a problem, Dan was able to find the source, or guide the team efficiently to the solution.
I cannot say enough about Dan's technical and design/architectural skills, as they were a huge asset always. Dan is an excellent team member with the drive to make the company better, and would be an excellent addition to any team.”
Jesse Gearhart, Senior Software Engineer, Sonic Solutions
reported to Daniel at Sonic Solutions
“Dan is a detail-oriented but still personable manager, able to incorporate information from his direct reports to improve processes and procedures, while maintaining a friendly and cordial relationship with them. He is not overbearing, but still able to convince others effectively. He possesses and displays good leadership qualities, and is extremely knowledgeable on a technical level. He is the most effective "hands-on" manager to whom I have reported, and I highly recommend Dan for any management or lead technical position.”
Steve Knoll, Senior Deployment Specialist / Installer Architect, Sonic Solutions, Inc
reported to Daniel at Sonic Solutions
“I worked with Dan for two years, and I have so many positive things to say about him. When I joined Sonic Solutions in 2006, I was a new grad who had no experience in Software QA. However, it's Dan's supreme leadership and management skill that led me, as well as the whole team, to accomplish many challenging projects. He was like the core to the whole engineer support team, which united all the members and resources together. His vision, skill, and experience makes him a great manager in any company. I would highly recommend Dan for any company.”
