What People Say
Feedback from colleagues and clients I've worked with.
Jeff built our entire telehealth e-commerce platform from scratch. His understanding of healthcare compliance and pharmacy workflows was impressive—he anticipated requirements we hadn't even considered yet. The system he delivered handles complex Rx checkout flows flawlessly.
Jeff transformed how we manage our product catalog and pricing. His profit margin automation system eliminated hours of manual spreadsheet work and gave us real-time visibility into our margins. He doesn't just build what you ask for—he builds what you actually need.
The telehealth platform Jeff built for us handles video consultations, scheduling, and secure messaging seamlessly. He understood HIPAA requirements inside and out, and delivered a system that passed our compliance audit on the first try. Couldn't ask for more.
Jeff took our outdated e-commerce setup and turned it into a modern, high-performing platform. His Magento expertise saved us from a complete rebuild—he optimized what we had and added the features we needed. Our training equipment sales are up significantly since the improvements went live.
Working with Jeff at AGI was a pleasure. He consistently delivered clean, maintainable code and wasn't afraid to push back when requirements didn't make sense. His pharmacy system integrations were rock solid and his documentation was always thorough.
