Testimonials

"Sebas is one of the most positive people I’ve worked with, and he brings that energy to whatever he’s working on. It’s contagious and great for the team. Additionally, I can always count on him to work hard, be thoughtful in his approach, and give useful feedback on product features."
Don Woods
Product Manager at LinkedIn
"Working with Sebastian was a great experience. He's easy to work with, honest, fun, smart, has a good overall understanding of the Ruby on Rails framework, and is ready and happy to learn new things when needed."
Sebastian Brocher
Founder and CTO at ChimiChurri Inc
"Sebastian was a one-man shop that took on the challenge and successfully delivered a substantially better product. What was more impressive though was seeing first-hand how Sebastian successfully fared through the many unexpected challenges that popped up as the project grew from refactoring to also needing new features weaved in simultaneously. Sebastian’s ability to navigate both necessities made a material impact. It led to us creating a codebase that became a valuable asset. It was a pleasure to work with Sebastian. I’m glad, on all levels, I got the opportunity."
