What is a Fractional CTO?
A Fractional CTO is a senior technology leader who delivers CTO-level outcomes on a fraction of the time and cost of a full-time hire — typically 1–3 days per week on a rolling retainer, remote or hybrid.
You buy concentrated senior judgment, not a seat. Strategy, architecture, team leadership, risk reduction, and the operating cadence that makes shipping predictable — without the salary, equity, and overhead of a full-time C-level.
Fractional vs. Interim vs. Advisor
These three terms get mixed up. Here’s how I use them:
- Interim CTO — temporarily fills a full-time vacancy. Defined period, broad mandate, high availability.
- Fractional CTO — drives outcomes with limited hours via cadence and leverage. Ongoing, targeted mandate.
- Advisor — offers guidance. Doesn’t own execution systems or operating rhythm.
If you need someone accountable for delivery and team outcomes — not just opinions — you need fractional.
Who it’s for
Most companies don’t need a full-time CTO until they’re past ~30 engineers. Before that, fractional is usually the right call. You likely need one if:
- You’re scaling fast — revenue, headcount, or product surface is outgrowing the team and processes that got you here, and nobody in the room can make confident long-term tech decisions.
- You’ve raised a Series A/B and investors want a credible senior tech leader in place — fast — while you search for a permanent hire.
- You’re figuring out AI — everyone on the team has opinions, no one can say which AI initiatives will actually move the business, what to build vs. buy, how to avoid becoming a vendor pilot, or how to keep data and compliance under control.
- Your platform is a black box — every new feature turns into a three-month rebuild, integrations are brittle, and technical debt is quietly strangling velocity.
- You’re replatforming or modernizing — monolith to composable, on-prem to cloud, point-to-point integrations to an iPaaS. The decisions this quarter will shape the next five years.
- You’re drowning in integrations — ERP, CRM, OMS, PIM, marketing stack, payments, data warehouse. Each one works in isolation but the whole thing is fragile.
- You need a technical peer for your CEO — someone who translates between business, engineering, product, and the board.
- Your delivery is chaotic — roadmap commitments keep slipping, incidents are rising, and the team is burning out.
What I bring
25+ years in tech — from ADSL rollout and security at KPN Telecom, through founding five companies as CEO / CTO (Jira ICT, Yireo, Wild Hibiscus, SupportDesk, Rapido), to seven years of senior leadership at Magento / Adobe, and now Head of Innovation at Alumio leading a net-new AI product.
- AI strategy & delivery — currently building a net-new AI product from scratch at Alumio. AWS Certified AI Practitioner (AIF-C01), Oxford Artificial Intelligence Programme alumnus, hands-on with LLMs, RAG, agents, and AI governance.
- Formally certified Fractional CTO — CTO Academy certified — most “Fractional CTOs” haven’t done formal training for the role. I have.
- SaaS, cloud & integration architecture — daily work at Alumio (iPaaS for enterprise) on event-driven, API-first integration across ERP, CRM, OMS, PIM, payments, and data warehouse. AWS Certified Cloud Practitioner.
- Enterprise leadership & team building — ex-Adobe Head of Commerce Customer Engineering EMEA (4 teams: L1 Core, L2 Cloud Ops, L2 DevOps, Premier Support). Won Adobe’s Global Consultant of the Year 2021 for work on Alshaya’s brands (H&M, Victoria’s Secret, Footlocker, Bath & Body Works + 15 more).
- Performance & reliability — founder of Mage.coach, a performance monitoring platform. Co-organizer of WebPerfDays Amsterdam since 2013.
- Security & compliance — Red Hat Certified Engineer (RHCE), Certified Ethical Hacker (CEH), former KPN CERT Senior Security Manager — security and resilience baked into every architecture.
- Commerce as a deep specialty — 20+ years in commerce stacks (Magento / Adobe Commerce / Joomla / open source), 1,000+ professionals trained, author of the Magento 2 Cookbook, Adobe Commerce Certification Advisory Board member. If commerce is part of your business, it’s an unfair advantage. If it’s not, the same patterns transfer to SaaS and digital products.
- Process & coaching — Professional Scrum Master (PSM I), Certified Scrum Product Owner (CSPO), coach/tutor at VU University of Amsterdam.
Services I can plug into
Technology strategy & roadmap
The 12–24 month plan that makes the next funding round, board update, or fiscal year decisions defensible.
- Translating business goals into a credible tech roadmap
- Build vs. buy vs. SaaS decisions, vendor evaluation, TCO modelling
- Platform / stack reviews — is your current architecture still fit for the next phase?
- Replatforming strategy (monolith → composable, on-prem → cloud, point-to-point → iPaaS)
AI strategy & adoption
Cutting through the hype with a plan that ships value, not pilots. Continuously updated as the landscape moves.
- AI roadmap — where AI actually moves your business, where it’s a distraction, and what to kill.
- The right pattern — prompt vs. RAG vs. fine-tune vs. agents vs. multi-agent. Match pattern to problem.
- Agents & MCP — autonomous agents, tool use, multi-agent orchestration, human-in-the-loop guardrails.
- AI in the SDLC — code agents, AI-assisted reviews, dev tooling. Faster shipping without losing quality.
- Evals, cost & observability — regression suites, drift / hallucination monitoring, token economics.
- Governance & compliance — EU AI Act, GDPR, IP, model provenance, vendor lock-in.
- Team enablement — turning your engineers into confident AI builders, not prompt tourists.
Integration & data architecture
The plumbing that decides whether your business can scale or stays glued together.
- Integration strategy across ERP, CRM, OMS, PIM, marketing, payments, and data warehouse
- iPaaS evaluation and rollout (composable, event-driven, API-first)
- Master data, customer data platform (CDP), and analytics architecture
- Real-time vs. batch — what to sync where, and at what cost
Architecture & technical oversight
The senior eyes on your stack that catch the expensive mistakes early.
- Reference architectures for SaaS, composable / headless, and cloud-native systems
- Performance, reliability & scalability reviews — handling peak load, latency, Core Web Vitals
- Security, compliance, and privacy reviews (GDPR, PCI-DSS, NIS2, ISO 27001, SOC 2 readiness)
- Code, repo, and delivery audits — independent second opinion on what your team is shipping
Team & delivery
Turning a busy engineering team into a predictable shipping organization.
- Interim leadership while you hire a permanent CTO / VP Engineering
- Hiring plans, role definitions, interview panels, technical assessment
- Engineering process — code review, CI/CD, observability, on-call, incident response
- Mentoring existing tech leads, principal engineers, and product managers
- Vendor / agency management — getting more value from the partners you already have
Board, investor & M&A readiness
Translating tech reality into language a board, investor, or acquirer will trust.
- Tech due-diligence prep for funding rounds or acquisitions
- Independent second opinion on major vendor contracts, acquisitions, or replatforms
- Board-ready tech updates — risk, roadmap, hiring, and budget in one coherent story
- Founder / CEO sparring partner on product, tech, and people decisions
Crisis & turnaround
When things are on fire, having someone who has been in the room before makes the difference.
- “The site keeps falling over” — performance / stability rescue
- “We got hacked / failed an audit” — security incident response and remediation
- “Our dev partner is blocking us” — independent review before a costly divorce
- “Our last CTO just left” — interim leadership while you find the next one
Working together
The single biggest predictor of success isn’t the engagement model — it’s whether we’re a good match. Same goals, same standards, mutual trust, room to be honest. If that’s there, almost any shape of engagement works. If it isn’t, no contract structure will save it.
That’s why every engagement follows the same simple flow:
Match → Scope → Project.
- Match — a free conversation. We talk through your situation, your team, what’s working, what isn’t. We figure out together whether I’m the right person for what you need. Often the most valuable outcome of this call is honest direction — sometimes including a referral to someone better suited.
- Scope — once the match is there, we define the work. What problem are we solving, what does “good” look like, who owns what, and what’s explicitly out of scope. Short, written, agreed.
- Project — the engagement itself. Most end up looking like one of these:
- Operator retainer — 1–3 days per week, rolling. In the room for strategy, architecture, hiring, and key decisions.
- Advisor retainer — a few hours per week. Senior peer / sparring partner for an existing tech team.
- Time-boxed sprint — 4–12 weeks, fixed scope. For specific milestones: due-diligence prep, AI launch, security remediation, stack assessment.
The shape comes from the scope. The scope comes from the match. Never the other way around.
What “good” looks like
It depends on the match. Success criteria, timeline, and the definition of “good” are all set together during the Scope step — written down, agreed up front, tailored to your situation. There’s no generic checklist or fixed timeframe that fits every business.
That said, engagements tend to produce outcomes in a few common areas:
- Clearer direction — a tech roadmap and AI strategy your team, board, and investors can rally behind
- More predictable delivery — fewer surprises, faster decisions, fewer stalled debates
- Lower risk — security, reliability, and compliance gaps visible and reducing
- Stronger team — better hires, clearer roles, less burnout, internal leaders growing
- More leverage from your stack — more value from the platforms, vendors, and people you already have
The real measure of a successful engagement is simple: the company is stronger without me at the end of it — better leaders, better cadence, better execution, and clarity on what’s next.
How I price
This is senior-level fractional CTO work — board-facing strategy, enterprise architecture, AI direction, and accountability for outcomes. It’s priced accordingly, and it isn’t the right fit for every company.
Same principle as everything else on this page — price comes from scope, scope comes from match. There’s no menu, no fixed retainer tier, no “starter package.”
The right framing isn’t hours × rate. It’s risk removed + speed gained + mistakes avoided — and at the senior level, the value at stake (a botched replatform, a failed AI initiative, a missed funding round, a security incident) typically dwarfs the cost of getting the right person in the room early.
Roughly, pricing follows the engagement shape we agree on:
- Operator retainer — monthly, based on days per week, scope, and decision load
- Advisor retainer — monthly, lighter weight, fewer hours
- Time-boxed sprint — fixed scope, fixed fee for a clear deliverable (due-diligence prep, AI launch, security remediation, stack assessment)
Pricing scales with scope, urgency, decision load, and the value at stake. We discuss it openly during the first call, once we’ve established fit and roughly scoped the work.
The first call is always free. We figure out match, scope, and pricing together — never the other way around.
Red flags I watch for (and you should too)
Not every company is a good fit for fractional leadership. I’ll walk away — and you should too — if:
- No real sponsor. If nobody can make decisions and set priorities, the engagement turns into advice with no outcomes.
- “Fix everything” scope. Vague mandates create endless work and disappointment on both sides.
- Full accountability, no decision rights. If I can’t influence priorities, staffing, or technical direction, I can’t own results.
- A culture that won’t prioritize. If everything is “urgent,” nothing ships predictably.
- Process over outcomes. Organizations so locked into KPIs, OKRs, and back-to-back meetings that nobody has time to actually build. Frameworks should support work, not replace it.
- Hiring a hero, not a system. If the expectation is “come save us,” you’re buying dependency instead of building capability.
What I’m drawn to instead
I gravitate toward teams with an open mind and a builder’s instinct — places where it’s still acceptable to spin up a small “garage” project, prototype something out of the box, ship a scrappy v1 to learn fast, and let evidence (not slide decks) drive the next decision. The best AI work I’ve seen in the last two years has come from exactly this culture.
I also believe in the difference between a boss and a leader — and I want to work with leaders. Leaders set direction by example, build cultures that can reinvent themselves, and operate from a vision of opportunity rather than fear, politics, or bullshit. Strong cultures don’t get built by management decks — they get built by people who would never ask of their team something they wouldn’t do themselves.
If I had to pick a film that captures the spirit, it’s 300. Not the violence — the conviction. The clarity of purpose, the refusal to flinch, the leader at the front of the line:
“Spartans! Prepare for glory!” — Leonidas
If that resonates with how your team operates, we’ll get a lot done together.
What I won’t do
- I won’t be your full-time CTO. The whole point is leverage — if you need 40 hours/week, you need a full-time hire, and I’m happy to help you find and onboard them.
- I won’t write production code at scale. I can architect, prototype, and unblock — but shipping features is your team’s job. If I become the part-time principal engineer, I cap impact and create dependency.
- I won’t recommend a stack, platform, or AI approach just because I know it. If your real problem is somewhere else entirely, if a different cloud / vendor / framework is the better fit, if AI isn’t actually the answer, if a buy beats a build — I’ll tell you that, even if it costs me the engagement.
- I won’t participate in meeting-for-meeting culture. Status theater, KPI / OKR cosmetics, calendar-as-progress-indicator — that’s where good engineering goes to die. I’ll help you replace ritual with rhythm: fewer meetings, clearer decisions, real outcomes.
FAQ
When should we graduate from fractional to full-time? When the business needs daily executive ownership of technology, continuous org design, and deep internal context — and the cost of part-time leadership exceeds the risk of not having full-time leadership. I’ll tell you when I think you’re there.
Do you code in fractional roles? Only for prototyping — quick spikes, throwaway proofs-of-concept, or unblocking a stuck decision. Not for production work. If I become the de facto principal engineer, both of us lose.
Who do you report to? Typically the CEO. Sometimes the COO for execution-heavy mandates.
Remote or on-site? Default is remote, Europe-friendly timezones. On-site is possible anywhere — for strategy workshops, leadership alignment, or high-trust moments — when travel is funded by the client.
What do I need before our first call? Nothing. Bring your current pain, the last 3 months’ delivery history, and the questions you’re losing sleep over. I’ll do the rest.
Ready to talk?
The best way to know if I’m the right fit is a 30-minute call. I’ll ask a lot of questions, give you honest thoughts, and either propose an assessment sprint or point you toward someone better suited.

'RARE' is the word that comes to my mind when I think of Ray. Some are great technical consultants while others are superb business analysts. Ray is both. That's why Ray is RARE. I had an opportunity to work closely with Ray for insanely complex eCommerce implementations. His futuristic vision of making reusable components and attention to granular details make him an outstanding professional. He has amazing skills in tracking every tiny detail and managing complex requirements in the simplest form possible. His exemplary leadership nature made a very strong team of people from diverse backgrounds and skillsets work towards a single GOAL and succeed ultimately.

I was happy to work with Ray! Great architect, leader and mentor! Exceptional performance in enterprise architecture and focus towards the business goals.
I have always known Ray and looked up to the 'Magento Doctor' (that is what the community calls him). Before joining Adobe or since the time I have been working with Magento, I have come across Ray in a way or another. My first assignment in Adobe was with Ray and I was so glad that it happened. He is one of the most humble and knowledgeable people I have come across. The best part about Ray is that he is always willing to go the extra mile if you reach out to him with a support request. I am sure, with capable leaders like him, Magento is in a safe place. I have huge respect and trust in Ray's capabilities and I wish him all the best in everything he wants to do.
Ray is simply a superstar. I have worked with professionals over the years who excelled in different areas; however, never had I worked with one possessing skills not only in technical and functional implementation and management, but also impressive and mind-blowing skills in coaching, speaking, project management, client management, you name it... Ray can do it. He is beloved and a coveted employee here at Adobe, and I got so lucky to have him on my team more than once. Ray is the best.
Fantastic Magento E-Commerce Business Solutions Architect with excellent foresight and technical consulting skills. Ray was a key asset to my project team and helped to successfully deliver a $1M Managed Services Engagement. I highly recommend Ray, and I look forward to working with him on future client engagements.
Ray and I were introduced to each other a couple of years ago by a mutual friend. I perceive Ray as a gifted man. Somehow he is able to be a hardcore developer and he has an excellent developed skill set to present, do sales and negotiate while finding the best outcome for all parties. In product development he is able to truly think out of the box and be a source of inspiration. The combination of these skills to be found in 1 man is quite rare. If you're lucky enough to work with Ray please send him my heartfelt wishes.
Ray offered what he said he would and went beyond that in helping me with some questions even though he was not a support consultant. Ray was easy to work with and even helped me at times that were probably not the best for him since there was a 7 hour difference. I will use Ray again if I need other Magento help.
Ray learned me the basics of Magento and some expert tricks. Ray knows very well what the goal of the course was and teached it on a good way. A guy you really want as a teacher.
Ray provided us with an in-depth explanation on Magento's backend. Clearly showing us how backend structures can be built within the short timespan of 3 days. They have done a real good job at clearly structuring and visualizing documentation for this, as this information very much lacks from the original source. Worth every penny.
Dear Ray, Thank you for your time and effort. I really appreciate that you shared so much of your knowledge with me. Your training provided me a solid basis for the company I am currently building.
Ray is speaking very enthousiastic about his work. After the workshop you will get also enthousiastic about it.
Ray is a great person to work with, both on a personal and technical level. He's kind, open minded and has a real passion for tech and Magento in particular. I'm sure his dedication and hard work will inspire many more!
Ray is always up to date on the latest tech, and inspiring to work with.
I have been working closely with Ray for more than five years now. It has always been a great pleasure to work with him. Ray is a great CTO, teacher, and a passionate, driven web professional with a sharp instinct for new technologies and technical improvements. His knowledge spans all web areas: from server to search engine (SEO) and everything in between. Besides being technically proficient, Ray has a great feel for e-commerce. Ray has always been an Open Source supporter. Last but not least, Ray is a straightforward person. He always challenges himself and others with an open mind. I am sure his drive and passion will be a valuable asset for Magento Inc. for many years to come!
In the relatively short time I've worked with Ray, I've learned a lot from him. His enthusiasm was infectious and his Magento and/or internet knowledge seemed infinite. I very much enjoyed working with Ray and hope to do so again in the near future!
Ray helped me a lot with my own business by providing me with useful feedback. He is enthusiastic, cooperative and works proactive on ICT security issues.
Ray is a very qualified and experienced requirements engineer. Ray is a creative individual with a well-developed talent for unconventional approaches to problem-solving. Keep track on the problem and if he can tries to solve it. Or address it to the correct person in a correct and proper manner.
Ray is een zeer enthousiaste specialist op internet- en websitegebied. Zijn kracht is om gebruikerswensen snel heel scherp te krijgen en hen daarmee te verrassen. Ik heb Ray ervaren als een zeer prettige en betrokken collega!
Ik heb super veel gehad aan de training/coaching die ik bij SupportDesk heb gehad met betrekking tot Joomla!, MageBridge en Magento. Een paar fijne leerzame dagen. De persoonlijkheid van Ray heeft hier ook zeker aan bijgedragen. Echt een training op maat die ik iedereen die met de genoemde 3 pakketten stoeit kan aanbevelen.
Naar aanleiding van een ingewikkeld Magento project heb ik vanuit Het Nieuwe Web een Magento cursus gevolgd bij Ray, waarvoor ik vijf keer een dag op training ben geweest. Zijn ervaring en all-round Magento kennis kwamen daarbij zeer van pas om de bottlenecks in een vroeg stadium in het vizier te krijgen en daar een adequate oplossing voor te zoeken. Het heeft me erg geholpen om het project op een professionele manier vorm te kunnen geven!
Ray is zeer deskundig op het gebied van implementatie en configuratie van Magento / Joomla / MageBridge. Ik heb in deze cursus veel geleerd over bovenstaande zaken, en heb nu ook al een werkende site in de lucht. Ik beveel deze cursus van SupportDesk dan ook zeker aan voor de mensen die de fijne kneepjes en truckjes van Magento / Joomla / MageBridge willen leren! Kortom een dikke 10 voor Ray Bogman en SupportDesk!
Ray has excellent knowledge of the Joomla (CMS) and Magento (e-commerce) suites. He knows to translate needs to solutions and helped me to keep focus on my project. I would certainly consider Ray as a business partner or knowledge supplier in future projects.
Ray is zeer kundig op het gebied van Magento, SEO en SEA. In de maatwerk training van 4 dagen heeft hij mij met veel enthousiasme de nodige vaardigheden en kennis bijgebracht. Dankzij het begrijpelijk vertalen van de techniek achter Magento door Ray ben ik inmiddels in staat zelfstandig de Magento themes aan te passen en plugins te schrijven. Ray leert je niet gewoon een trucje, Ray zorgt ervoor dat je begrijpt hoe het werkt en waarom! Deze training is elke euro meer dan waard geweest!
March 2012 I followed a 1 on 1 Magento training at the Magento Competence Center. Ray was inspiring and above all practical.
Ray heeft mij in één dag de basis van Magento en de do's en don'ts bijgebracht. Veel antwoorden gekregen en nog meer ideeën opgedaan dan waar ik mee kwam. Thanks, Ray.
Ik heb Ray binnen een dag leren kennen als een zeer vakkundige ICT'er die weet waar het om draait. Wellicht wil ik graag in de toekomst ook gebruik maken van Ray zijn kennis voor SEO optimalisatie en evt. uitbreiding van webwinkels. Bedankt Ray, ik heb heel veel van je geleerd gister.
If we talk about professionals here is THE ONE! A day with Ray... Ask him everything you want, about Magento and e-commerce! But you don't need to ask him because you don't get the chance... he will tell you in a professional way everything you need to know... and more. Thanks Ray. Great to meet you.
Outletplanet heeft mij ingehuurd voor ICT activiteiten. De Magento webshop werd op enig moment erg traag. Dit was de aanleiding een Magento expert in te schakelen. Via onze hoster kwamen we in contact met Ray van JIRA. Hij heeft voor ons de tabellen geoptimaliseerd en het wijze van caching aangepast. Dit heeft geleid tot een enorme performance verbetering. Hij is een echte Magento expert. Een aanrader dus.
Ray is een 'wandelend kennisvat' en vindt volgens mij niets leuker dan die kennis te delen. In een door hem gegeven training kwam de ene na de andere eye opener voorbij. Diepgaande 'hard core' know-how, maar op een begrijpelijke en leuke manier overgebracht. Voor zover ik kan beoordelen een van de grootste Magento-experts in NL.
Ray weet echt alles van webshops in Magento. Niet alleen op technisch gebied heeft hij ons het nodige bijgebracht, maar hij kan ook alles vertellen over de gedachtegang achter een webshop. Een Magento cursus is echt een aanrader!
Ray is a professional and specialist with great communication skills. In a MageBridge private course he taught me a lot to understand the concept of a site with MageBridge and what chances there are for a Joomla/Magento site. He showed me a lot of handles to make a success of a Joomla/Magento project! Thanks!
Ray heeft met zijn mensen van Jira een dedicated server voor onze nieuwe Magento website op www.houtweb.nl perfect ingeregeld. En op zeer korte termijn. De site loopt lekker vlot! Bedankt Ray!
Raad iedereen aan om de maatwerk MageBridge cursus te volgen. Ray denkt met je mee en in oplossingen. Deze cursus is voor mij het startpunt geweest voor het zelf ontwikkelen van meerdere Magento webshops.
Ray is naast een kundige Magento en Joomla expert een consultant die zeer goed de business-zijde van e-commerce snapt. Het resultaat van een (gezellige) dag samenwerken is dat je met meer antwoorden naar huis gaat dan je vooraf aan vragen bij je had.
I worked with Jira concerning web development and security issues. Ray Bogman proved to be both a creative business partner and a person who really understands what online retailing is about. His background in online security is of great value. Our business objective is to implement Magento and MageBridge, a Jira product. With the support of Ray Bogman and his Jira team we have all the ingredients for a successful implementation.
Products offered by Yireo are outstanding (especially MageBridge). An additional consulting job was well done — very professional. High quality work. Instructions provided are detailed, precise and accurate (which is rare nowadays). I would buy more products and services without any hesitation.
De Magento maatwerk cursus was voor mij als beginnend webwinkelier een eye opener en erg waardevol. Ray, bedankt voor het inzicht in Magento en het meedenken in mijn concept.
Hi Ray, Thanks for the great one-day Magento training. I've learned a lot from it and it gave me a good Magento kick-start!
De maatwerk Magento cursus van Jira met Ray Bogman (a day with Ray) is fantastisch. Ray weet echt waar hij het over heeft — de zeldzame combinatie van diepgaande kennis en de communicatieve vaardigheden om het over te brengen. Want Magento? Go Jira.
Ray is an expert on Magento and the e-commerce business. He's very enthusiastic about his work and willing to share his knowledge.
Ray is a true professional with an eye for details that others may not notice. His recommendations have helped us to fine-tune our e-commerce platform multiple times.
Ray is a professional e-commerce consultant. He is very patient and knows a lot of the Magento system. Want professional no-nonsense Magento advice? Ray is your man!
Ray is in the forefront of IT and software/security issues and knows to put issues in perspective for your business. His vibrant and enthusiastic approach works stimulating for his trainees and puts things immediately in motion.
Ray has an amazing knowledge of the Magento e-commerce subject. He has a good overview of the subject and knows it right down to the smallest details (and this for a subject that has been around for only a year). Not only does he have an amazing knowledge of the subject, he is also gifted at explaining in a clear way all that you need to know!
Ray Bogman and Jisse Reitsma are great people who helped me a lot building my first new Joomla! internet site I hosted at Jira ICT. Also in the evening and in the weekends. I appreciated this very much. They also helped me when I had problems with my website. They gave me useful feedback. I learned a lot of these professional and enthusiastic guys!
Ray heeft in korte tijd de nieuwe website voor I&O Netsys (www.ieno.nl) gerealiseerd. Daarbij zijn vooral zijn expertise, zijn snelheid van werken en zijn vermogen om mee te denken met ons opgevallen. Mede daarom is de website erg mooi geworden en was het heel prettig samenwerken. Ik kan Jira / Ray van harte aanbevelen aan iedereen die graag snel & binnen budget een mooie website gerealiseerd wil zien.
Ray is not your average security professional. Besides the normal expectancies, he cares about your project, drills down deeper and therefore delivering higher quality results. We were greatly surprised about the level of his expertise and he has contributed a great deal to our website.
Ray has delivered several websites for me in the past and still maintains these. Service provided is quick, to the point and for a good price. He is willing to make an extra effort using both his technical knowledge as well as his drive to results.
'Security specialist' might be a bit worn out title. But in case of Ray we must say hands-on security expert. If he wants he could wreck your LAMP stack in a blink of an eye. But Ray is such a gentleman and professional that he lets you learn by doing, and he is always there to help you out.
