Testimonials
I really enjoyed working with Linton and his team! Linton is extremely well equipped to tackle ambiguous problems and he is easy to communicate with. He also has been a huge help in performing technical assessments for engineering candidates who are applying for a full time position. I'm very happy with the work completed.

Linton worked with us as consultant on a mobile project. In addition to his strong technical capabilities and being an expert in Android platform design and development, he has an understanding of client needs that makes him stand out. He pays close attention to what you say during consultation sessions and tries to capture the essence of requests in his designs. Linton would be a great hire for any job.
