Colleagues describe him as "Working with Greg was fantastic. His attention to technical detail is unsurpassed; I certainly learned a lot about how to appraise a task from Greg's approach. He is a man determined to find the best way to solve a problem, while remaining pragmatic in his approach. Somehow he knows how to push people to achieving their very best, without causing unnecessary stress. The last project I worked with Greg on was an Appcelerator Titanium project. Pair programming, we got through the project at a brisk pace, and managed to push the boundaries of what was possible with the platform at the time. Along with his technical accolades, Greg is an excellent leader with great people skills. With all of this put together, he is the ideal CTO for any company." and "Greg Balmer is an amazingly talented developer and architect. Like most great software talents, his strength is not only in establishing logical frameworks, but in implementing frameworks that are eminently scaleable, testable (for reliability and quality), and extendable (for future proofing and to enable teams of developers to add out features or individual APIs as necessary). I worked with Greg for about 7 years at Mapflow and Avego, companies involved in web-based mapping and transport systems, where Greg implemented a variety of systems and architectures, many of which are successfully deployed in diverse applications such as providing ticketing systems on all the private bus operators in Ireland (and now expanding throughout Europe); the back-end systems used by the world's leading provider of vanpool fleets; and mapping for insurance providers throughout the world. These B2B products are scalable businesses providing solutions for thousands or tens of thousands of daily users in their sectors, and Greg was the lead architect for these systems. Greg is a great guy to work with. He is remarkably practical: incredibly driven to find solutions that work for customers, while never losing his sense of commitment to produce really beautiful and well-architected products. His sense of quality and thoroughness will serve any team well. He is an excellent teacher to younger talent as well. I hope we get a chance to work together again!"
