Consulting Services

First, I would like to take this opportunity to thank you for visiting and commend you for having the foresight and vision to explore build and release consulting services.  From my extensive experience in the field, I noticed many organizations ranging from start-ups to fortune 500 companies often have deficiencies in areas of Software Build and Release Management.  These deficiencies are a direct result of the lack of talented resources in this particular field.

Many organizations tend to rotate Software Engineers for Software Configuration Management related duties because of the lack of funding to recruit a full-time Build/Release Engineer.  This can result in wasteful development cycles for the Software Engineers involved.  However, the issue further magnifies in smaller organizations when there just aren’t enough tasks to warrant the hiring of a full-time Build or Release Engineer.  This is where I can help.

padlockBefore I go into the details of my SCM consulting services and solutions, I’d like to take a minute to discuss the issue of source code security and help mitigate any such concerns.  No doubt, source code is the life blood of any development organization.  As an SCM professional, I understand these concerns all too well.  A strict list of code of conducts is practiced to enforce the highest level of security.  The action items on this list must be exercised at the start of any consulting contract.  It is with that in mind, I’m fully confident in my service offerings.

    "I worked with Davy on few projects and want to continue having him as a person fully owning build and release processes. Davy is a great software developer who is very knowledgeable, capable in building completely new processes as well as maintaining existing projects. He fully owns so needed qualities such as attention to details, drive to figure out root cause of problems, warm and always friendly attitude to co-workers. He is the person a team may rely upon."



    Eugene Krivopaltsev
    Server Architect

    "Davy had demonstrated himself as high energetic, solid, and professional SCM Lead. His extensive knowledge of Build & Release methodologies and processes plus expertise in SCM toolsets benefit to any organization he is with. I am very satisfied with his work and glad to recommend Davy to anyone in need of experienced SCM Lead."



    Hiep Nguyen
    Manager, Software Configuration Manager

    "Davy is outstanding technically, with a strong understanding of software development and excellent programming and scripting skills. He is a great professional, knowing his field, teaching others, and making others comfortable with his expertise and leadership."



    Xi Hau
    Business Systems Analyst

    "Davy is a multi-talented senior professional. While Davy's technical expertise is Software Configuration Management (and was hired to design & upgrade our company's build and release engineering for all products), he also took on ownership of the software upgrade mechanism of an existing product and created a new software installer for a new product. His approach to SCM for a company is to work himself out of a job, i.e. the processes and tools are automated, compliant, integrated, and a true turnkey solution."



    Wendy Mui
    Director, Engineering Services

    "I worked with Davy to integrate our test automation framework with the build system which he helped to establish. Davy designed and implemented the workflow of the integration and display mechanism that allowed us to streamline the whole workflow from build to test. With Davy's contribution, we had significantly increased our capacity and stability of our automated testing."
