“Mel's knowledge of Firefox related web technologies is truly staggering. If something needs to be done on the web, he can most certainly make it happen. I would highly recommend Mel to anyone in need of web consulting or development.” April 21, 2008

“I have worked with Mel extensively during my tenure at Pepsi. He has an uncanny knack of quickly grasping a true and in depth understanding of the most complex business and technology issues and imperatives. When combined with his technology savvy, the resulting chemistry has proven over and over again to be a key ingredient in his ability to deliver consistent business value and results to his constituents. Mel is a rare and genuine business/IT visionary! Quality, Integrity and Passion are the three adjectives I would use to sum up Mel. I would have no hesitation in recommending him as someone intent on ensuring that the clients needs and expectations are met 100% each and every time. Constantly thinking outside the box of better and more efficient ways to do things in order to provide business value. Very sharp individual who organizes his time extremely well by setting himself aggressive but realistic milestones. Great Project Management characteristics - he would be an asset to any organization” February 19, 2008
