What Professionals Say About Working with Me – Danute
Steven Sandler, Managing Director, Picotest, and DesignCon 2023 Engineer of the Year
"Dani rocks! I’ve had the opportunity to work with her on the design and mechanical engineering side as well as on the quality side. She’s taken my napkin sketches and turns them into the most incredible product designs! She thinks outside of the box (if she even knows there’s a box!). And she knows how to make a 3D printer not only sing, but dance at the same time.
I’ve also had the pleasure of working with her on the quality side and can say that we have never had an issue with any of our products. EVER. I can’t say enough good things about Dani"
Jeff Mermis, Component Engineering and OEM Procurement Manager, Tektronix Inc.
"I quickly determined that Danute is a bright, dedicated, and detail-oriented professional. She led the development of her company’s Product Development Process and later spearheaded the creation of a Quality Management System, which earned ISO9001 certification. Her work demonstrates a deep understanding of Product Development, Quality, and Manufacturing, as well as an impressive ability to tackle complex tasks independently. I have no hesitation in recommending Danute for any role she seeks."
Seen Fang Lee, Strategic Sourcing at Keysight (at the time of recommendation), now at Comet Plasma Control Technologies
"Danute is wonderful to work with—a dedicated and reliable partner. Her timely work and fast responses always amazed me, as did her deep knowledge of quality-related matters. She earns my highest recommendation."
Choon Soon Wong, Product Development Engineer at Keysight (at the time of recommendation)
"Danute is extremely knowledgeable about the products she manages and incredibly responsive to any issues. It’s always a pleasure working with someone so reliable and dependable."
Boris Hudoffsky, Team Lead and Measurement Specialist
"Dani acts like a secret weapon and a work horse at the same time – it just depends on what you ask her for. I have been working with Dani for seven years, as a team lead latest. Dani gave strongest support in mechanical design as well as in quality related questions to the projects I was responsible for. As a proofed super hero in Solidworks she made everyone bow to the technical results and the time taken, which is close to the speed of light by the way. Furthermore she is pushing on the quality site of the company along with a very good attitude of creating a culture and acknowledgment for the best products in the world with a substantiated concept and the drive to work methodically to completion. In my opinion, whoever is able to retain Dani’s exceptional services will be richly benefited."
