Testimonials
6 recommendations. All of them older than the work.
These were written on LinkedIn between 2018 and 2020 by teachers, colleagues and clients from early in my career. They are carried word for word, typos included, with the date and the writer’s relationship attached to each one. Nothing here has been tidied up.
What is not on this page
This page used to show a five-star row on every card and a 5.0 average across the top. LinkedIn recommendations do not carry a rating — the number was assigned when the six were loaded into the database, then averaged back out as if it had been measured.
Everything that was given is still here: the words, the date, the writer, their role, and how they knew the work.

Before you weigh them
What a LinkedIn recommendation is, and what it is not
It is a colleague choosing to write something in public under their own name. That is worth something, and it is not the same thing as a review of delivered work.
Every one of these is checkable: the writers are named and their profiles are public. Nothing here asks you to take an anonymous quote on trust.
There are no ratings
RemovedLinkedIn recommendations are free text. There is no star field to fill in.
The old page showed five stars on each card and a 5.0 average above them. That number entered the database at seed time and was then averaged back out, which made an invented value look measured. The same rule that deleted the skill percentages applies here.
They are unedited
VerbatimSpelling, grammar and phrasing are exactly as written.
One says “safistfied”. One ends in an emoticon. One is written in the formal register of a character reference rather than a review. Cleaning any of that up would make six different people sound like one copywriter, which is how fabricated testimonials read.
They are old
2018–2020The most recent was written in April 2020. Nothing here covers the last several years of work.
That gap is real and it is not hidden behind a sort order. For recent evidence the shipped products are the better answer — they are running, in public, and you can open them without asking anyone.
The honest gap
What covers the years these do not
Three kinds of evidence that are current, checkable, and did not need anyone to write a paragraph about me.
- 01
Products that are running right now
Live on the web, on Google Play, and in the Chrome, Firefox and Edge extension stores. Open one, use it, and form your own view — that is a stronger signal than a sentence from 2019.
- 02
Packages anyone can install
Published on npm under a public maintainer name, with their source, their issues and their release history in the open. Code is harder to overstate than a testimonial.
- 03
An employment record with dates on it
Five companies since January 2018, each with a start month, an end month and what the role actually involved. Verifiable by anyone who wants to pick up the phone.
Check them at the source
Every recommendation on this page exists on a public LinkedIn profile, written by a named person. If one of them matters to your decision, read it where it was written.
Where do these come from?
The recommendations section of a LinkedIn profile. Each writer chose to publish it under their own name and it stays visible there. This page is a copy, not the record.
Why only 6?
Because 6 is how many there are. Padding the count with paraphrased client emails or anonymous quotes would make the page longer and worth less. If more arrive, they appear here with their real date attached.
Can I speak to a former client directly?
Yes. Ask on a call and I will make an introduction where the client is happy to take one. A reference who agreed to speak to you is worth more than any of the 6 paragraphs above.
Will you add reviews from Upwork or Fiverr?
Only real ones, and only with the platform named on the card. Those platforms do issue star ratings, so an entry from one of them would carry its genuine rating — which is exactly why the LinkedIn entries carry none.
Old words, current work
The people above worked with me years ago and said so in public. What I would rather be judged on is what is running today — so tell me what you need built, and I will tell you honestly whether I am the right person for it.
