Marc worked with us on two related projects: updating the Dow Jones Widgets product to version 2.0 and creating new JavaScript/HTML/CSS visualizations for the Forex market. In both cases Marc proved himself impressively adept at understanding both the business needs driving requirements as well as anticipating the needs of developers who will actually be using the Widget library. Marc’s understanding of client-side development runs deep and he was more than happy to share his knowledge with the broader team; we all learned a lot from him.

A solid relationship between a Developer and a Designer is crucial in any successful project. Marc was easy to communicate with and always understood not only how to execute with precision but also WHY I had designed things the way I did. If he didn’t, he was the first to ask for clarification and helped refine every detail! October 26, 2008

Marc is always there to not only help, but to assist you in helping yourself. He constantly drove me to improve my processes, methods, code and outlook. He’s an extremely bright, motivated, talented and friendly individual who will improve any team he works with. Truly one of the more talented people I’ve had the pleasure of working with.

Lyle Goding, Senior Interactive Developer, JWT/ RMG Connect
worked directly with Marc at RMG Connect

Working with Marc as a colleague and a teammate was a real pleasure on a couple of levels. His good nature and willingness to solve a problem that he maybe wasn’t directly involved with made him a superb employee and teammate. The vitality he injected into project work, born out of his inquisitive personality, always delivered above expectations. Factor all of that into the talent and drive he possesses to create and make ‘things’ happen and you have one of the best interactive resources around. It’s guys like Marc who you hate to see leave your own inner circle and hope you cross paths again – after they have gone off and forged new territory and taken their game to a whole new level. It’s guys like Marc who teach the rest of us. July 16, 2008

Marc was the most dedicated person I have ever worked with at RMG Connect. He would take on his tasks with deterimination and exceed expectations. I could always count on Marc to make the best decisions and if he ever had a question or issue he would never sit on it but bring it forward and help find a resolution that was met with best practices and the clients best interest.

If I was ever given a chance to recommend Marc as ‘the best person for the job’ I would tell the employer if they didn’t hire him they would be making a very grave mistake. He’s one in a million. May 19, 2008

Marc is incredibly adept at picking up any new technology we throw at him. He will never back down from a challenging assignment and isn’t satisfied with simply finding a way to do it… he strives to find THE way. He’s a perfectionist, but not to the point of ignoring the bigger picture, and that is a rare gift indeed.

Jeff Hoffman, Enterprise Technology Manager, RMG Connect
managed Marc at RMG Connect

Marc was responsible for transforming the conceptual product that was designed for our website into a usable set stylings and html that could then be applied by our team to the rest of the site. I was greatly impressed by his level of customer service, quality, and attention to detail especially in ensuring the cross-browser functionality of his work product. He was very easy to work with and responded quickly and accurately to any requests my team had. When the time came for some more work to be done to assist our team, I requested Marc be the resource that was assigned to the task for all the aforementioned reasons. November 15, 2007
