John has worked at small to medium sized companies and with me at a Fortune 500 company. In other words John scales vertically and horizontally!

"I have worked with John, both on professional projects at Westfield and personal web development projects. I have yet to meet someone who is more knowledgeable on web development. Additionally, John's ability to take the most esoteric ideas and simplify them into a language that the typical business client could understand is surpassed by no one. He is flexible and business agile, which is needed and appreciated when business needs change over night. But it is not only John's technical skills that should be noted, but also John's "soft skills" are remarkable and unexpected from a technical person. John can meet with any level of employee from your basic help desk personnel to the CEO of a company, and everyone is at ease. His calm demeanor and customer service oriented attitude is outstanding. John would be an asset to any company, and he is someone who I hope will continue to mentor my technical savvy." December 15, 2008

"John is a thought leader and expert in software engineer, object oriented design, analysis, coding, Java programming language, and the J2EE architecture. His deep understanding and ability to apply it directly to create elegant, yet feature rich solutions is one of his strengths. John clearly sees architectural and design patterns, and applies them to these designs. His insight, leadership, ability to teach and mentor junior developers, make this expertise even more valuable as he passes this onto junior team members. There is no technology solution that John can't dive down into, master in short order. I would look forward to working with John in the future." December 13, 2008
