He is highly professional and easy to communicate with. He was simple to integrate with a development team as he is already very familiar with common tooling and Software Engineering processes. He came armed with a great variety of mobile devices and tools for mobile app testing - and went above and beyond even on the web testing. All issues found are clearly documented including hardware used, software versions, clear steps to reproduce and a screenshot/video. I would have zero concerns recommending Earl for any software quality assurance work!" ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ "We had a very tight deadline and budget. Earl kept to both, when honestly he could have asked for more time since we kept causing login issues for him. He communicated clearly and kept us informed of his work and when he had challenges accessing the app. More importantly, he was SO patient with us. We were working through bugs and fixes to the app WHILE he was reviewing it for compliance. His VPAT report was clear and easy to understand. He also brings additional skills to the table that we will use in the future, such as Testing the app and taking the Training/User Guides and validating they are written for Users to understand. Highly recommend him for 508/VPAT work. We will definitely use him again. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ "Earl really delivered on a full User experience/QA deep dive into our web platform. He was meticulous in his testing and found both technical problems as well as personal (and well-founded) opinions on usability improvements. If you're trying to really tighten up your product, perhaps leading up to a big launch like we were, then Earl is the best bang for your buck. Thanks again, man!"
