Recommendations
Many past colleagues have recommended me on LinkedIn. Some highlights:
Jeffery is a brilliant web developer that challenges conventional thinking and raises the bar for the team around him…
CEO, HK4As advertising agency
I think two things separate Jeff from the vast majority of developers in Hong Kong: intellectual curiosity and a real investment in his work.

A mutual colleague once told me that Jeff is “the best front-end developer in Hong Kong”, and after having worked with him for over two years, I’m inclined to agree.
