Matt Allen is nothing short of a genius. On numerous occasions he has demonstrated that he has a natural ability to turn creative vision into game changing solutions. I've seen many projects worked on by Matt, and he has never EVER failed to surprise me. It has been a pleasure working with him, and whomever is lucky enough to work with him in future will not be disappointed.
I have known Matt for over five years and have developed a deep respect for his professional and personal qualities. Matt is a passionate programmer and technologist. More importantly, he is trustworthy, determined, fun-loving and not afraid to tell customers when they need to change course. I thoroughly recommend Matt's services.
I've known Matt for over 5 years and his insights and helpfulness has always been forthcoming. He's a Ruby and Rails gun that bridges the gap between code and business. His no-nonsense approach allows him to get to solutions faster and his diligence means the final solution is well thought out.
Matt was a very clever and hard working tech director for River Dynamics. Many of the innovative ideas and business concepts in the smartAlloc system were due to Matt's creative ability and very deep understanding or Web technologies. I would have no hesitation in working with Matt again.
