If you're interested in recommendations, etc, please see my profile on LinkedIn but here are a few excerpts:

Greg Papadopoulos, CTO/EVP R&D, Sun Microsystems
"David has this rare and hugely valuable ability to both connect with customers (and truly understand what that means in the field engineering sense), as well as do really great advanced development. I always enjoyed listening to his latest thinking and hearing about his projects --- loved the perspective and creativity."

 

Brenda Laurel, Distinguished Engineer, Sun Labs
"David Simmons is a man who knows few, if any, limits. He works tirelessly and effectively - and that's on a BAD day. Seriously, David possesses both superior engineering talents and a unique ability to communicate, engage and persuade others - a combination too rarely seen in the high-tech industry. Working with him was often educational, usually inspirational, and always delightful. He is well qualified for senior positions in engineering, management or marketing, and he has my highest recommendation."

 

Randall Smith, Sr. Staff Engineer, Sun Microsystems Research Labs
"David is a highly productive and very bright programmer. Over the past few years working with David on the Sun SPOT project, I have been impressed with his ability to work within a loosely defined mandate to design and rapidly implement numerous tools ... most of these tools he conceived on his own as mechanism that solve everyday user problems. He sticks with his projects, working to extend and improve his software over time. His contributions are now absolutely central to the Sun SPOT project: thousands use his systems on a daily basis. In addition, David is an excellent communicator, and has a quick mind with a blisteringly hysterical sense of humor. He has been a real joy to have on the team."

 

Mary Smaragdis, Director, New and Social Media, Sun News Network, Sun Microsystems
"David is a technologist of great talent and expertise. He goes beyond just pushing the envelope on innovation in his work, however. He's also very skilled at creating community around the technical initiatives he's driving. He's very well versed in using emerging social ecosystems to drive awareness and engagement in the technical initiatives he's chartered with. He creates global communities of supporters, contributors and boosters in his work, and I count myself in those."

I am still working on converting the resume to html, so when I'm done I'll put that here too. For now the PDF will have to suffice.
