David's work on our team made my job as a Software Engineer much easier. Knowing that he had already put in the hard work necessary to come up with a trustworthy design, that wasn't going to have to be brought back to the drawing board… I was also really impressed with David’s design knowledge and how he worked with our clinical experts to incorporate their domain knowledge into his designs.
