Ross helped me get out of a very difficult situation I was having by showing me how to spin up a full AWS Appsync environment in an emergency situation in under two hours. It was awesome.

Ross was helping me de-bug AWS Cognito and Social Auth. He pointed me in the correct direction on something I was struggling on for days. I have since gotten my app to function the way I wanted :)

Very good on React and understanding the problem. My issue is a little bit tricky but Ross manage to figure out in time. Great communication as well.

Ross went above and beyond! He is incredibly kind, thorough, helpful, and just overall exceeded my expectations for everything. He completed my project, and was determined to help fix my own separate issue of something not working correctly on my side even though he didn't have to. I've hired a few people on this platform but no one has compared to him and I will continue to use his services in the future. YOU WON'T REGRET HIRING HIM!

Ross helped out on a small project I didn't have time to complete. He worked quickly and made adjustments as I suggested. Loved that he asked clarifying questions to make sure he delivered on all my ask. Highly recommend

I'm the founder of Point Blank Dev- my ship on the high seas of the internet as a web dev freelancer. Over the last few years. I've completed countless web development projects for lots of customers. I work most projects solo to build out elegant, performant applications for founders- but I've have a few contractors I've worked with and mentored over my career. When necessary, I know I can trust them to help me get projects across the finish line when projects are on a tight timeline.
