"Steve Nguyen is one of the smartest and hardest working web developers

with whom I have had the privilege to work. Steve is committed, loyal and

never quits until the job is done. Steve took on some of the more

challenging projects we faced involving deep database work, security and

authentication tasks, geo-targeting users, and he always came through with

quality deliverables in a timely manner. Steve volunteered to take on

challenges that required dogged attention to detail and were not the most

fun or elegant projects, but he approached every task with deft skill, a

positive attitude, and a willingness to do whatever it took to get the job

done. I highly recommend Steve because of his professionalism, positive

attitude, commitment, and most importantly his sheer talent as a web

developer."
