Kenn has done an amazing job for us. He completely rebuilt the HTML/CSS front-end for our complex Ruby on Rails webapp without downtime, while we continued to use it for public demos and fundraising. Thorough, easy to work with, and a creative problem solver, the guy is a total pro in every sense of the word.

President, doGoodr, Inc.

Presented with an unfinished spec and an aggressive launch schedule, Kenn worked directly with technical and creative stakeholders on two continents to help us to go live on time with no budget overruns, no scope reductions, no technical difficulties, and no drama. I've done enough launches over the past ten years to know that's not nearly as easy as he made it look.

I hired Kenn to code a website I'd designed for a client. My client wanted the ability to edit his several page site easily, and wanted a blog included. Kenn delivered all of this in a timely, professional way. My client and I were both pleased with the results. I'd definitely recommend working with Kenn.
