We've been using Kivi's services for about 3 years, and on multiple projects.
He's my “go to” guy. I can't say enough about the professionalism, attention to detail, and vast technical knowledge he possesses on multiple levels.
In addition to all the special skills he's gifted with, Kivi also gives old school customer service like I've never seen elsewhere.
Kivi has a keen eye for design, is a master of JavaScript & several other programming languages, and has a creative/artistic way about him that allows him to use all of his skill in synergy to bring a project full circle, on time and with a high degree of professionalism. I can't say enough about Kivi Corn.
But, if you're considering hiring Kivi for yourself, I'd like to ask you to give it a second thought because I'm selfish and would like to keep him as my own personal “secret weapon” as long as possible!!! (of course, I'm just kidding). On a serious note, word is getting out that this guy is good at what he does.
Hire him before he's all booked up.
