Bio
Jon T.
Having had the pleasure of working with Robert for almost 2 years, I can truly say that I was always impressed by his ability to provide honest, direct answers to my questions, and he was able to explain it to me in non-techno-babble terms that could be used for making informed business decisions. The technical skills Robert demonstrated throughout the project, yet his humility, will always be something I will remember, and I fully recommend him for any server-side development projects that come his way.

Robert is the most skilled programmer I've ever had the pleasure working with. I was constantly amazed by how quickly and accurately he could come up with a design and implement it with the most elegant solution. A lot of my own coding style and coding practices were directly influenced by his work. He's like a programming encyclopedia sitting beside me. I feel really sorry to lose him on our team. If you are looking for somebody who's fluent in almost every well known programming language, is a master of computer science and has better Linux skills than most of the system administrators, Robert is the perfect candidate.
