"Gabriel has the rare ability to solve problems that have left other developers scratching their heads. He was a key player on a very difficult development project and maintained his professionalism throughout. He is a great technical resource and can articulate Development practice and theory eloquently. His linguistic skills are also a major plus when it comes to dealing with complex scopes and client communication. It was a pleasure to work with him and I would do so again in a flash." - February 8, 2012

"Gabriel is an amazing Web Developer. He's up to speed on all of the latest technologies and matches his technical skills with a "can do" personality. I've counted on Gabriel to build multiple landing pages and web sites and he's never let me down." - September 16, 2010

"Working with Gabriel has been a real pleasure. He has demonstrated to be a highly professional and proactive developer, as he not only seeks to complete his work, but always puts the effort in doing it right - by following best practices and thinking in the overall architecture or goal, or by providing solutions to previously unsolved problems. He's a great team player and what I really like about him is that he always keep a positive attitude even in the most difficult and stressful of situations, which helps keeping a good energy/vibe within the team. His teammates have always expressed positively about working with him. I highly recommend him, just as I would like to have him as part of any team that I am in." - January 25, 2012
