Bio
Zbyszek (Zeke) Cybulski
Ben is a great technical leader, reliable business partner, and a very nice person. We've had an opportunity to collaborate in a complex project that had a difficult start and required a lot of understanding and attention but evolved into a successful fintech service in the UK lending market. While being my client, Ben demonstrated a rare combination of understanding the human-related topics, market constraints, and technological requirements. One can learn from Ben how to negotiate and still maintain great relationship. I highly recommend Ben as a CTO or an engineering manager.

Having commissioned a number of websites in the past, I had definite requirements of a web development partner to support us with My Jobs Place, these were: One that was flexible in their approach to work and our ideas. One that could deliver a CMS that gave us as much control over site content and layout as possible as I didn’t want to be in the position of having to make additional payments for small site changes as they were needed (as had been the case in the past). One that was proactive in suggesting site and functionality enhancements One that was appreciative of and worked to our deadlines. One that was cost effective. I’m pleased to say that Sirosa have exceeded all of my requirements and expectations. Prior to appointing Ben from Sirosa, I put the brief out to seven companies, some responded saying the site build in terms of functionality was too complex so they declined to quote and others quoted at prices which were prohibitively expensive. Ben and his team delivered a complex website in a very short period of time, delivered on budget and they would often work late in the evening and weekends to ensure our deadlines were met. I couldn’t ask for more. I would strongly recommend to anyone looking for a web development partner that they consider Sirosa. If further feedback or information is needed on Sirosa’s capabilities I am more than happy for anyone to contact me.
