Clients & Testimonials
“I can’t say enough good things about Andrew. During his time working on our development team he went above and beyond the scope of his original assignments and quickly exceeded our expectations. As his role and responsibilities grew he became a core member of our team and an essential part of our development workflow. He is the type of dev that adapts quickly and easily to new projects, development environments, and situations. His robust skill-set and extensive experience make him a veritable Swiss Army Knife of a developer.”
“Andrew Boscardin was an absolute lifesaver. He built out my Wordpress website exactly as I’d envisioned - all before deadline. Intuitive, creative, highly-skilled, responsive and dependable are but a few words I’d use to describe working with Andrew. His personality, patience and humor under pressure were a bonus. Proud to call him my secret web weapon.”
“Andrew ( aka “Bosco” ) is an exceptional dev lead—his code is bullet proof, but it’s his communication and strategic thinking that set him apart. On all the projects we’ve worked on together, I rely on Bosco to see the big picture and trust him to lead the dev effort with co-workers and external clients. He’s a gem.”
