Testimonials

“I recently hired Isaac to develop a web-site and was impressed by his breadth of expertise, professionalism (work on time & in budget) and overall helpfulness (he voluntarily fixed some server installation issues we were having as well).

He’s a recent graduate and, despite a decent portfolio, there was perhaps an initial question-mark in my mind about how comfortable someone relatively inexperienced would be working with our design brief. However, I think he’s done a great job, especially in the time/budget allowed, and I don’t hesitate in recommending him as a full-stack developer.”

Neil Bachelor, OmniFolio

Isaac is a hard-working, enthusiastic and reliable individual who proactively involved in setting up Warwick Fashion Group’s online presence. He takes great initiative to solve problems promptly and has a wealth of knowledge about new and existing technologies.

He is an excellent business partner when it comes to combining design and technologies as a whole. His advice and actions on projects has led to quick and sound decision making. I have enjoyed working with Issac, he is a truly cooperative and efficient partner. I will definitely work with him again in the coming future.

Teenie Fung, Warwick Fashion Group

Isaac designed my website rupertelder.com in Spring 2012. He quickly responded to all my requests with exactly what I wanted and I ended up being very happy with the website for a fair price.
