Recommendations

 
I worked with Jimmie for 2 years as both a contractor and then on his team for Dropprice and in working with over 15 clients over 7 years, Jimmie was hands down the best client, team member, and boss I worked with. Of all the startups and projects I worked on, he was the only founder and CEO to successfully gain traction on the product; persevering and working wise and hard to achieve an impressive 9% week over week growth for 9+ months.

I worked with Jimmie extensively on Dropprice, and saw it grow rapidly under his leadership. He’s a dedicated, passionate leader, who always showed total commitment to his vision and team. He supported a talented team of engineers and managed a complex and constantly evolving product. It was a pleasure to work with Jimmie on Dropprice.

Working with Jimmie stands out during my time as a freelance developer. Many clients were unable to lay out a concise executable plan. Jimmie was able to clearly convey the vision he had for Dropprice, and showed good understanding of the development process when laying out an executable strategy. He showed trust in the team when technical challenges arose, and was extremely well prepared when difficult decisions needed to be made.
