Bio
Allan Lund Tolberg
I've been on the same team as Torben for about 2 years. I find Torben to be honest, funny and extremely good at knowing something about everything. His ability to work in different systems, programming languages and at the same time keeping a steady hand and strong focus is admirable and one of his strongest sides. I would recommend Torben as a developer any day of the week. In IDA Torben was known as Mr. Legacy due to his huge share of knowledge and architectural insights. On top of that, he himself took the name as a badge of honor and it truly is. Torben is a great colleague and I'm going to miss working with him.

Torben is a very skilled and knowledgeable consultant, with a high level of consistency and discipline. Torben takes responsibility on his own initiative, and delivers software that works. Torben can understand highly complex domains, and has a great ability to attain information and deliver results on time. Torben has proven to be very flexible and helpful in any situation.

Torben has been hired as a freelancer at EasyFlex. He has overperformed at every aspect of the project he was assigned to. We really needed help and from the moment Torben walked through the door he took over the project and made it his. We are talking every aspect. From customer contact to implementation. Particularly I was impressed with the ease that he took over another programmers somewhat messy work. It is with great confidence that I recommend Torben as a highly skilled software engineer.
