Rated 5.0 out of 5

Anton is the greatest developer I've ever worked with hands down. He's taken a role in our startup as tech lead and has been doing a beyond excellent job with communication, honesty, hard work and accuracy. He understands that a startup is a fast pace environment with lots of moving pieces and adjusted himself to work with that, which is one of the best things that I like about Anton.

On top of that, Anton is extremely skilled and offers really great feedback. He isn't one of the type of developers that just says, "sure, I can do that." He's thoughtful and will give his honest feedback and advice on everything.

Overall, 12/10 of a developer. I really got lucky with Anton. Thanks for all that you do and am so excited to see where our startup goes!

I've been working with Anton for 7+ months now, and he has been a remarkable tech lead for my first app. He was always there to answer my questions, give honest feedback and tell me when something was needed to be done differently from how I wanted it to be done. I've noticed that many people are quick to say "yes," to everything but Anton actually cares about the clients and company's best interest.

I enjoyed all of those months that Anton worked on the project for and I know that we will continue to remain in touch. He's very honest, communicative, and a great backend developer, which are all quantities that clients want in their developers. Thanks for bringing my first app to fruition, I will never forget that!

Thank you Anton for all of your great work. Your next client will be lucky! :)

The same founder, twice
