Kam has that hardest-to-find quality in a software developer: a keen business sense and a nose for what the customer wants and how the customer thinks. In addition to his robust technology solutions and elegant coding style, his business acumen can save projects tens or hundreds of thousands of dollars and months of time lost chasing the wrong path.
Please don't hire Kam for your next project; I need him for mine!
Chris Kutarna
Kam is business savvy and his input on projects from a marketing, design, development and business perspective demonstrates that his overall view in the digital realm transcends typical programmers.
Having developed numerous large scale Ruby web applications and content management systems, I recommend Kam to anyone after a solid technical lead, Ruby expert and/or front end web developer. He's a pretty cool guy to have a chat with too.
