Don't just take our word for it...

Here is some of the feedback we have received over time from clients and employers:

"The depth of his understanding of how things work (from HTML and Javascript down to CPU caches or Ethernet protocol) is what distinguishes Juergen from most engineers. In addition to the deep understanding, Juergen's passion for technology, combined with his ability to lead, and willingness to mentor make him an invaluable member of any organization that is serious about delivering quality and innovative software products."

"Juergen is a world-class software engineer with fantastic attention to detail and excellent communication skills."

"Focused, intelligent, passionate and game changer best describe Juergen. His intelligence and passion for technology along with his focus, puts him in a rare category. An engineer who creates software that can change a business."

"Juergen's persistence and creativity were key factors in him developing our patented load balancing technology. [At another project] Juergen demonstrated strong leadership skills in leading a team of engineers in a major redesign of the product. His strong written and verbal communication skills and his flair for leadership enabled him to carry out this task, even though he was working with a remote team."
