"Marcus rebuilt our platform and shipped two weeks early. Page loads dropped from 4s to under one. Rare to find someone this fast and this careful."
"The cleanest codebase we've ever inherited. Documentation, tests, the lot. Onboarding new devs went from weeks to days."
"Reliable, communicative and genuinely senior. Marcus is the first person we call for anything mission-critical."
