  As CTO of Modern Message, I hired Derek as an Internal Technical Support Engineer. This was a unique position in that it supported our extensive and critical account representatives team in those moments when more advanced technical skills were required. Derek’s mix of technical and people skills made him a great fit for the role. His duties were diverse and often demanded deep system knowledge, the ability to quickly diagnose bugs, creative thinking to solve unique problems, and a broad set of technical skills.

  Derek is loyal and a hard worker and I would recommend him to anyone.

His can-do attitude and grasp of online trends is a true asset to any team.

  When I asked Derek to design my site, I didn’t expect that his help would also help me to fine tune my brand. He asked me several questions that I had never thought to ask myself. The specificity and care with which he took in the information about my site’s purpose and its viewership were not only pivotal in creating a successful website, it helped me to articulate my goals for the future.

  He then created a site that looked amazing AND is completely practical for me to manage on my own. We had very few meetings, since he was always ahead of the curve but any notes I gave were taken and then further improved. I just can’t say enough about working with him.
