Emphasis in eLearning for adult learners.
Tom was wonderful to work with. Even on a very challenging project, he was able to provide great solutions and help problem-solve to create a remarkable e-learning product.
What Tom was able to create fit our direction superbly. His understanding of coding principles allowed us to mix and match approaches to serve different needs while maintaining the same tools. His portfolio should speak to the caliber of work by itself but know that with his talents come a very personable, capable, and innovative developer. Highly recommended!
Tom provided his unique skill set and the additional resources needed to deliver this certification training ahead of schedule. In addition, Tom responded to all emails, calls, and requests for edits quickly and professionally. This was awesome, given that some of these requests came during weekends or random times because of working with teams in different time zones.
Tom was amazing in terms of partnering on an eLearning initiative around performance/compensation in multiple languages, using high-fidelity custom graphics and videos. He was also extremely cost-effective, undercutting large graphics design firms by over 30% while maintaining a large volume (multiple videos in different languages).
