Real words from people I’ve worked with and built for.

Paul worked for our company for 7 years as both a contractor and employee and was an integral part of our product development team. I am sad to see our business relationship end, but I am excited for him in his new venture and I am grateful for the outstanding work, work ethic, positive attitude and energy he brought to the team during that time. He completed several key projects he had ownership over during this time including two complete UI overhauls of large products and over the period he worked for us fixed hundreds of bugs in the system as we maintained and enhanced our products. He also directly contributed to the implementation of numerous features in various projects and had the opportunity to work in various technologies. I would rate him nothing less than 5 stars and highly recommend him for anyone’s team who intends on having a strong team member over the long haul. It’s difficult to summarize 7 years of success, but you wouldn’t go wrong hiring him.

I first hired Paul back in 2008 on a project for a hobby of mine. His work was great then, and quite a few projects and almost 3 years later, his work, attitude and professionalism has done nothing but get greater! I have challenged Paul with some tough jobs as well as some tight deadlines and he has yet to fail me. I have and will continue to utilize his abilities as a programmer as well as a friend.

Paul has done an outstanding job working for Storeboard.com. He always has a “can do” and overall great attitude when approaching any new task. I am lucky to have him on the Storeboard.com team and hope that we will continue working together for many years to come!
