What my customers thinks about me
Thomas has been excellent on this project. This was a very difficult deployment of a complex technical challenge that we had really struggled with. Thomas gave us fresh ideas and several possible new approaches, and then worked through these to find a method that was viable. He then worked with us throughout testing, to ensure we had a smooth go-live with no problems in production. He saw a difficult task through to completion, with good communication with me throughout the process. Based on this project, I can highly recommend him to you.

Thomas was a very hard worker and completed the job in less hours than expected. Thomas looked at our current environment and communicated what could be improved on the existing server and also advised the benefits of migrating to a new server instance. We choose to go for the latter and Thomas successfully built the new environment from scratch, optimised then migrated our site at an agreed time. The process was handled with just a few minutes of down time (in the early hours of the morning). Since the migration, the site has performed much better than it was prior to hiring Thomas, which was the goal. Overall I am very happy with the work Thomas carried out, he is a credit to Upwork and he will be the first person I contact if I need to hire for any similar jobs in the future.

Thomas is a real pro in what he does, I definitely recommend him as a server optimization specialist.
