Reference Letter:
To Whom it May Concern:
I had the pleasure of meeting Eric in 2011 while we both worked on a major rewrite and relaunch of a content management system for schools. The project had critical deadlines and Eric was able to get up to speed on an unfamiliar framework and keep pace on the front end for several backend developers. Eric is upfront, honest, and level headed. He doesn't waste time with frivolous unnecessary features that only delay a launch. In fact, he will often find a more efficient way to get something done. I was so impressed with Eric when we worked together, that I hired him in 2013 when I heard he was available. My company has been specializing in healthcare related applications and I hired Eric as a contractor to do User Experience and User Interface Design. Both my clients and myself were very happy with work Eric does. I also used Eric for a fishing website I own. Unfortunately, some of my clients, have already hired UI/UX people already, so I am unable to bring him on. Anytime I need someone, Eric is the first person I call. If you have any questions, please feel free to contact by email or phone.
Take care,
Paul Marshall
