We started working with PixBuffer Software in late 2010. Before selecting PixBuffer, we interviewed several software development firms across North America to gauge both expertise and price. As a startup, speed and reliability remain very important. We knew we either wanted to develop in Django or Ruby on Rails and we wanted to work with people who we could communicate with effectively.

After working with PixBuffer for over a year, we undoubtedly feel that we made the right choice. Their professionalism and detail-oriented work helped reduce turn-around time and their expertise is displayed in their creative problem solving abilities which have helped us avoid costly mistakes. PixBuffer helped us transform our idea into proof of concept and then into a solid, fast, and reliable web app.

Evandro (PixBuffer's Director) is an outstanding developer who is very personable with a huge array of knowledge. When you are looking to hire somebody he is the kind of person you are praying to get as you go through the interview process. He is the kind of person I would recommend without hesitation.

TecKnoQuest has been using the services of Evandro Miquelito (PixBuffer's Director) since January 2011 and I am very pleased to be able to comment on the quality of his work. Our infrastructure uses a variety of programming languages and web frameworks (Django, Python, Zope, etc.) and Evandro was able to quickly and efficiently learn our system and begin contributing in a meaningful way. He took the time to learn our system thoroughly and asked excellent questions as part of the familiarization process. Evandro also never hesitates to make suggestions for immediate or future improvements that can enhance our infrastructure and lower our overall maintenance costs.

One aspect of Evandro's work that has impressed me since the start is his approach to problem solving. While some programmers will try to "bluff" their way through a complex problem, Evandro is quick to admit the complexity of the challenge. However, he moves efficiently to research solutions and then presents them in a logical and complete manner. With detailed "pluses and minuses" of all the solutions, as a business owner I can make informed decisions and move forward. Evandro's thorough, creative, and collaborative approach to problem solving is valuable and (quite frankly) refreshing.

While we employee other Systems Administrators, Evandro is also very capable of providing services as needed in this area. Once again, he learned our hardware infrastructure (we own and maintain our own servers; we run CentOS and other open source software on our servers) quickly and has been a valuable contributor in this area.

Evandro Miquelito is a welcome addition to TecKnoQuest and I look forward to continuing our work in the future. However, I would not hesitate to recommend him as a talented team player with superior strengths in many areas and genuine leadership qualities.
