"Neil was a rockstar! He understood the scope of the project right away and was a great communicator along the course of the project. He constantly went above and beyond to keep the project on schedule. "
I graduated in Computing with Cognitive Psychology, and became a freelance programmer. Initially this was Flash development and then more broadly Web Development. In recent years I have focused on Wordpress Development, for example custom plugins. I have been with Upwork since almost the beginning, and before that was a member of Elance.
Over the years I have mastered dozens of technologies in the field, and have constantly strived to keep my skill set up-to-date. My goal is to leverage my diverse skill set to deliver exceptional web solutions that meet clients' needs and drive their business success. I am committed to continuous learning and staying updated with the latest industry trends and technologies.
One of my core strengths as a freelance web programmer is my first-rate communication skills. I prioritize clear, concise, and proactive communication with my clients, ensuring that I fully understand their requirements and expectations from the outset. My clients consistently praise my ability to "read between the lines" and provide insightful solutions that align with their real needs.
Through regular updates, detailed information, and prompt responses to queries, I ensure that the lines of communication are always open, fostering a collaborative and transparent working relationship. This approach not only helps in promptly addressing any issues that arise but also builds trust and satisfaction, leading to successful project outcomes. Additionally, I provide thorough documentation and comprehensive instructions for the client’s team, ensuring they have the necessary resources to continue managing the project effectively after completion.

- **Frameworks and Libraries:** React, jQuery, Bootstrap
- **Tools and Platforms:** Git, Google Cloud Platform, VS Code, Webpack, Ant, Babel, MySQL,Xampp, Wordpress
"Neil developed a small WordPress plugin for my business. It's working great and Neil was very quick with resolving minor bugs that are of course inevitable with any software project. He showed great initiative and came up with excellent solutions/improvements that I could not have found. Communication was very easy aswell. All in all great value at a fair price and I'm happy with the outcome."
"It was pure pleasure to work with Neil. He directly understands the task and works hard to complete it in time. We can only recommend Neil as we were very happy with this work."
"Excellent developer and programmer. We got Neil to help us create a custom plugin for our web app. He was very proactive at providing solutions to the different challenges we faced and provided all documentation and instructions as requested. I highly recommend Neil and look forward to working with him in the future."
"Neil was excellent at understanding what we wanted to accomplish and running with it. He has a very good ability to "read between the lines" which makes things go smoothly. I would absolutely hire him again."
"Very good service! Neil developed an individual audio editor for us. He proceeded very professionally and implemented everything to our complete satisfaction. Thank you very much!"
"Neil worked on a CL executable that augmented a geo-referenced set of data by communicating with Google services. He was reliable, flexible, added value to the project and required virtually no oversight to complete the tasks. Really enjoyed working with Neil and will track him down again for things in his skill set. Thanks Neil!!"
"Neil is a very hard working developer. He does a great job of being upfront on the work that needs to be done. His communication is second to none. It was a pleasure to work with him."
"This is a very complex JavaScript component. The PREVIOUS developer spent three months and did a crap job. I spent ten hours just to try to explain to him why his work does not meetto the requirements. We had to pull the plug at the end. Neil did a fantastic job. All the requirements are met on the first delivery, and he delivered it in only two weeks. I am so happy that I am speechless. This shows his qualities: he is very capable and very diligent at the same time. This makes a developer very valuable. Thank you Neil!."
"Neil was great to work with. Timely, experienced and very cooperative. Gives suggestions for a better solution if he notices that something is off. If you hire Neil, you won't be disappointed!"
