What our clients say

From the scoping, to diagramming out our system architecture, to implementing the solution - Benji has very strong attention to detail. His team is extremely professional and offered valuable solutions to our projects that we needed their technical support on. Executed on all promised deliverables and have seen sustained performance from each implemented solution since project completion.

Taggart Spenst

MeatEater, Inc.

When I was fortunate enough to connect with Benji about 10 years ago, he truly saved our operations. We were in a tight IT spot, and with very few prospects for assistance. His willingness and ability to take on a massive OS upgrade in addition to modifications of our customized software was second to none.

Ruth Olofson

Systems, Inc.

Benji is an incredibly good listener and problem solver. We’d hire him in a heartbeat for problems that are over our skillset. No internal employee could spearhead or execute the task we needed to get done. Benji is the for-hire assassin. His skills and attention to detail is extraordinary.
