Aleksey delivered beyond expectations. His positive attitude, his knowledge
and his work ethic are more than impressive. Where everybody else fell short
to deliver, he mastered a solution, monitored it and offered advices on
security which was beyond the scope of work. We are happy to have found the
sysadmin contractor our team needs.

I was looking for someone to quickly write a linux shell script involving recursive copies and regular expressions, taking into account both time and space complexity. After a few candidates thought they could do the job but fell short at some level, it was Aleksey who offered an elegant solution that has now become part of my standard toolbox. Aleksey's code was well documented, concise, and I learned a lot from it. Based on this experience and my knowledge of sysadmin requirements in general, I would highly recommend Aleksey for any position or job involving Linux/Unix administration.

Dear Aleksey,
Working with you has been a pleasure. There are few contractors that I have worked with that such a depth of understanding about computerization and understanding of the business end as you do. Your ability to communicate and understand what is needed and wanted has made each task that we have worked on smooth and fast. I appreciate that. I hope to work with you in more in the future as I know you will ensure the IT success of whatever we work on.
Best,
--Martin Johnstone, Vice President/Overall IT Director, Ultimate Creations. 12 Dec 2008.
