You get what you pay for, and you will if you work with Kraken. I have worked in tech companies in consulting roles from principal to executive level, and for large firms like Oracle, KPMG and Gartner, for over 20 years. Erik is one the best consultants I have ever worked with, and I would not hesitate to use his services again. He anticipates future requirements, proactively communicates , and documents his work as well or better than anyone I know. He knows when to take a technical decision on his own, but more importantly, knows which decisions to make jointly with the client. He clearly understands how to build for both maintainability and reusability – we were able to port his work Magento to other eCommerce platforms in about 1/5 the time, due to his thoughtful design and his excellent documentation. I can’t say enough good about working with Kraken – it was a pleasure.
