“The time will come when diligent research over long periods will bring to light things which now lie hidden. A single lifetime, even though entirely devoted to the sky, would not be enough for the investigation of so vast a subject... And so this knowledge will be unfolded only through long successive ages. There will come a time when our descendants will be amazed that we did not know things that are so plain to them... Many discoveries are reserved for ages still to come, when memory of us will have been effaced.”

Testimonials

Shawn Price

CTO

I worked on multiple projects with Richard and I was constantly impressed with his attention to detail, follow through and breadth of knowledge. He took the time to understand the project to the point where he was more knowledgeable than the subject matter experts. He improves any team he is placed on, especially when given a leadership role.

Nhan Nguyen

Senior Software Engineer

I worked directly with Richard for almost three years. In that short amount of time, he had demonstrated to be a solid software engineer and a good team lead. Very strong in C#.NET. Excellent teamwork and collaboration skills. Highly recommended.

Matt Ozvat

CEO

I worked with Richard for over six years in a variety of businesses and partnerships. Richard consistently displayed technical expertise that satisfied assigned project requirements regardless of complexity; moreover, his savvy business experience enabled him to design cost effective software promoting sales and growth. Richard's technical and business expertise is a fraction of his more valued abilities, remaining mindful and patient during stressful situations while collaborating in a team environment to accomplish goals makes Richard a valued employee wherever his future may lie. Richard's abilities influenced me and created the foundation of my personal success. Thank you Richard.
