I worked with Gabriel several times over the past five years and cannot recommend him enough. So much so that I've hired him multiple times to lead and develop. He's smart, trustworthy and a great partner in thinking creatively not just about technology solutions - but how they match to business decisions.

I met Gabriel over a year ago as just another 'Developer'. What I didn't know is that his product development acumen is the stuff of SaaS legend! Gabriel is willing to research, try, and optimize. He is a miracle-working IT leader with too many ideas. All the work I have done with Gabriel has helped to drive my industry forward as a whole, not just solve customer needs.

Gabe is not only a fantastic developer, he's also a lovely colleague. He quickly got to work building what we asked for, and he did it well in a reasonable time frame at a reasonable price. We would love to have him on our team full-time if it were possible. We would absolutely hire him again without reservation.

What Gabe delivered completely exceeded my expectations. Within one week, he created a streamlined consultation process that other consultants had struggled with for months. He's exceptionally smart with a rare ability to make complex technical processes feel simple. He quickly understood my needs, translated them into practical solutions, and saved the attorneys at my firm hours each week.
