Alan was very knowledgeable when it came to much of our back end and core ecommerce development. Alan’s experience and knowledge about various aspects of ecommerce from payment systems, email service providers, web performance enhancements, database development and performance tuning, hosted cloud services and even things such as marketing SEM and SEO made him invaluable for numerous aspects of what we had to develop. He has good instincts about technology choices, people management and business acumen make him a great partner.

Alan is diligent, works quickly and able to pick up new technology quickly. He is extremely reliable, responsible, trustworthy and cares deeply about what he works on.
