Bio
Thomas Cronkright
Jeff and his team build great systems that perform at scale. He is a creative and strategic thinker that adds value not only to the product but also the commercialization of the business.
Nick Piotrowski
I hired on Jeff and BitStudios to help us develop a new platform. Jeff was able to source talented people to get us moving on the project. He's given solid recommendations regarding each phase of the project and is always mindful of current budget and resources available. We're currently working towards MVP and we've gotten there faster than I anticipated. I've recommended Jeff and BitStudios to our company Executive Management Team for other future projects as well.
M Kumar (Director at PixelGenio)
Jeffery had been a great person to work with. He is very humble yet his professional expertise and communication was always an inspiration for me and my team. I wish him all the best in his professional endeavors. Cheers from team pixelgenio.com
