Technical Strategy

(15)

Created 12 years ago in Technology / Software Development

I've been building applications for 14 years. Some from scratch, some already built, some were legacy systems, others were using the latest frameworks and technology. I've worked as a code monkey and as lead architect. From requirements analyst to designer to front end developer.

I understand the full stack from servers, to browsers, to databases, to MVC frameworks, usability, business and user needs, and best practices like unit testing, self-documenting code, design patterns, and performance tuning.

With the breadth of my knowledge and experience I'm able to make decisions based on many factors, not just a few. I can view a problem from a higher perspective as well at a very low perspective predicting problems before they happen and building for the future as well as the present.

Jorge was very informative on what technical details I should look into and what to look out for as we expand and scale our business. Would certainly reach out to him again for technical advice in the future.

Jorge was very helpful, he tried really hard to translate his technical knowledge into a common language for me as a non-tech guy to understand. He also requested brief background info regarding the subject matter to prepare himself before the call, and provided additional helpful info after the call.

Jorge was super responsive. He answered my request in record time and was willing to speak to me that night. Jorge is the man - he was thoughtful and detailed in his responses. He not only answered the questions thoughtfully but offered up smart suggestions. He's a great resource for any tech-related questions.

George is certainly a well-versed in web application development. I came to him with a vision for an application and without any prior experience or knowledge of web development. After speaking with him, I felt much more confident about the steps I needed to take to complete my ambitious project. He's guidance enabled me to create a thorough project proposal that included an estimated budget, talent acquisition strategy, and timeline projection.
