Hear it from my happy clients
I had an unforgettable time working with Ben at tado° Core App team. I find Ben to be an expert on iOS platform. He knows the ins and outs of it. I can completely put my trust in him. He plays the long term game without losing sight of the short term goals. What is unique about Ben is that he has a great motivation and a strong sense of ownership of what he does, even as a freelancer. As a person, Ben is a very likable and positive person. I would not hesitate to hire Ben again on any iOS project. He can set any team for winning.
Ali Alsatrawi
Engineering Manager at tado° GmbH
Ben has a professional attitude; he is dedicated and meticulous in his work, and reliable in his response to professional requests. He is also very pleasant personally, and he bonded very well with the other team members in my group. He has my highest respect as a professional iOS software engineer. From conceptual design/UX to implementation Ben oversees the complete product development cycle to build apps people love to use. In short he is a delightful member to have in ones team!
Tilman Buchner
Chief Mobile Officer @ ProSiebenSat.1 Group
Ben really helped us refactoring our flagship app together with a team of eight to make further development easier and faster. He was very helpful to both the junior and senior staff, explaining and reviewing code and writing many of our new modules. He is a very kind person who can explain himself well to both technical and business colleagues.
Jakob Stoeck
Director Technology @ Sport1 GmbH
In the beginning of our project Ben not only helped us ramping up our iOS team but with his keen sense for clean code and architecture supported the shaping of our engineering practices. In later phases of the engagement he was instrumental in delivering our features to our customers. During his tenure at IconicFinance he drove a lot of tech advancement for the iOS client and kept discussion with all departments open. I can recommend Ben for any phase of a project.
Josef Auer
VP Technology @ IconicFinance GmbH
Ben is the kind of guy who makes every team more vivid. I have great regards for his superb awareness, his passion for detail and collegeal discussions on the highest level. His commitment to find the best possible solutions for both users and employers in addition to his professionalism ensure projects to be highly successful.
