I met Dava during my interview for the Magento Developer position at Naveo Commerce (formerly known as Maginus Software Solution). He was responsible for the technical part of the interview.
During my time at Naveo I have gotten to know Dava and I can say that his level of dedication and hard work is admirable. No matter how tough or complex the requirement is, he always has a solution.
Excellent team player to the point where I completely forgot that he was my superior as the Magento Technical Team Lead.
