"Mark Davoli is one of the most capable, detail-oriented, exacting front end developers I’ve ever worked with.  In addition, he is a pleasure to work with, which is rare in combination with his technical skills.  I’ve had the pleasure of working with Mark on a variety of critical, time sensitive projects, and have found Mark to be an invaluable part of the team on all the projects he’s been on.  His input into the feasibility and relative merits of different solutions to coding challenges have been key, as well as his ability to communicate the issues, and possible solutions, with both technical and non-technical people alike.  It’s not hyperbole to say that he is one of the top developers I have worked with in  my long (27+ years) experience in IT.  He is also a favorite developer of our corporate design team due to his ability to implement their designs down to the pixel. In short, Mark will be a tremendous asset to any development team he is on."

"It’s rare to work with a developer as skilled and knowledgeable as Mark. I had the pleasure of working with Mark on a product launch over the course of 8 months, during which he was the lead developer of our Penguin Random House Author Portal. In this role, Mark developed the frontend of the site, and coordinated the complicated landscape of backend development and a team of nearly a dozen developers across specializations. I was impressed not only by Mark’s development skillset, but also by his ability to communicate with design, project managers, and business leads to help understand and overcome problems. His ability to break down complex technical discussions facilitated easy decision-making processes, which made the entire project run more smoothly. Mark is thoughtful in his development approach and often puts forward suggestions that helped shape a better end result. He is an absolute pleasure to work with and I look forward to collaborating on another project."
