Conrad has been great fun to work with over the last two years, and despite this recommendation, I hope that our working relationship might continue for a little while longer yet. He gets to the root of any problem very quickly and provides solutions appropriate to the business case scenario. On a personal level, I enjoy discussing the projects and code that each of us is working on, as I find Conrad to be very articulate and open to other people's ideas. It probably goes without saying, but I'll say it anyway - of course I wouldn't hesitate to recommend Conrad for any developer role you may be considering.

I can heartily recommend Conrad as a creative developer - if it comes to thinking through a problem and finding the technology or approach that will work, Conrad will find it. Resourceful and self motivated, he’s great when you needed someone to ' get on with the job'. Conrad is a good sounding board and is always prepared to thrash things out in an honest discussion. One of the projects we worked on together evolved quickly as its membership grew. It was fascinating to see Conrad pushed things along, to the point where the website quickly challenged its competitors because of a readiness to listen to user requests, and develop useful tools – a skill that I’m sure would be useful to any business with a desire to improve and adapt.
