About Me

/Who Am I

For as long as I can remember I’ve had a passion for technology. The curiosity to tinker with it only grew and directed me to what I do today. It’s both a passion and joy to help clients fulfill their vision through web applications and systems. When I’m not in front of a computer I enjoy working with my hands, traveling, and spending time outdoors with my wife.

Be a yardstick of quality. Some people aren’t used to an environment where excellence is expected.

/What I do

At one point or another your organization will require a technical solution designed and implemented. Perhaps you only need design work, and you can handle implementation. Maybe you have the perfect design, but you need someone to do the implementation. Or, possibly, you are looking for someone to come in and handle it all – because you have better things to focus on. Through many years of experience I’ve been involved in the entire project life cycle and can handle it all.

The design solution begins with understanding the business outcomes you hope to achieve. We will partner together to determine the correct solution or solutions for your project.

testimonials

I had the pleasure of working with Raz for about 8 years. Raz is a man of character and was always trusted by his team to get the job done. Raz was able to handle all tasks ranging from front end to server side development. He could handle responsibilities for multiple concurrent fast paced projects and was always 100% committed. This commitment to the clients he served and his team resulted in many successful projects.

Jason King, Senior/Architect/Developer.

Raz is first of all a great human being, someone who loves being part of a team, and has high integrity. Raz and I have worked together for 8 years. In that time, he's grown to be a valuable part of our team, a developer who is ready, willing, and able to contribute in multiple facets of our work - backend, frontend, scripting, you name it. He gives 100% every day and is a great guy to have around.

Ben Johnson, Senior/Architect/Developer

I had the privilege of working with Raz for over two years. He is dedicated, passionate and always in pursuit of greatness in any project he tackles. Working with Raz on a team, I always had confidence in his ability to deliver as well as support other team members. Raz is a great asset to any team environment, I am confident his humble leadership and senior development skills will help take your team to the next level!

Kristin Kelliher, Project/Account Manger

I had the opportunity to work with Raz during the critical last months of bringing a product to market -- a time when we all know hours can be long and tensions high. As Product Owner I observed that Raz was dedicated, flexible, collaborative, even-tempered and a strong team voice. He's a solid guy that I would love the opportunity to work with again.

Phillip White, Product Owner

I worked as a Project Manager/ Business Consultant at NovoLogic with Raz for over four years. Raz and I worked on many of the same projects, and I always enjoyed working with him because of his positive attitude and willingness to 'go the extra mile' on projects. Raz is a conscientious, hard worker and an excellent web developer. He is always eager to learn new technologies and he thinks outside the box. Raz is not afraid to ask questions of the client when requirements do not make sense because he wants them to be satisfied with the end result. He is also transparent about his progress with the team/client and is always willing to mentor other more junior developers. If you are looking for a dedicated senior web developer to add to your team, I highly recommend Raz!

Audrey Ann Stoffle, Chief Editor

Raz really impressed me when I hired him to help check out a publishing solution. The approach I suggested wasn't yielding the answers we needed, so he came up with a better one, executed perfectly, made the client happy, and left me looking like a star. All in a day's work was his attitude. Raz gets clear on the outcome(s) you need then doesn't let anything get in his way. He checks in when needed (even if you didn't ask) and takes accountability for his work. He makes things easy to understand and embodies the title 'trusted advisor'.

Mike Wittenstein, Founder/Managing Partner

I had the pleasure of working with Raz for almost two years. Raz is a gifted developer with immense passion for what he does. I was easily inspired working along side of him and he was always ready, willing and patient in mentoring me along my career. His humble spirit and fierce determination to deliver the best user experience possible stuck out to me and I hope to embody the same traits in my work. Raz will be a powerful asset, a great friend, and a strong leader in any team that he joins.
