"Very professional and responsible"
"We came to Danny with a question we needed a definitive answer on, not a range of possibilities. He gave us one, in writing, with the reasoning laid out so we could follow how he got there. He took our follow-up questions seriously rather than brushing them off, and where one of our assumptions turned out not to be required, he told us so instead of building around it. Clear, direct, and willing to say when there's nothing to do. We'd hire him again."
