Endorsements

“… we have found Matthew’s service to be extremely cost effective; mainly because of his broad depth of knowledge and ability to quickly generate code for specific functions and applications while keeping a complete understanding of the entire system in perspective … I cannot say enough positive things about our contracting and consulting experience with Matthew Eshleman.”

Tom Jones – Research Electronics International – General Manager

“Bird Electronic Corporation engaged Matthew Eshleman to perform a firmware source code review with the goal of identifying a particularly challenging fault. Matthew reviewed our code base and rapidly identified dozens of valuable, actionable recommendations, focused primarily on multi-threaded software faults. His reporting was well organized, clear, and concise, helping our team identify the recommendations that were most likely to be the cause of the fault. We applied the necessary changes, and our subsequent testing has shown the fault to be completely resolved. Matthew’s rapid review and recommendations helped our company resolve a critical problem for a valuable customer and enable new business opportunities. We are grateful for his expert insights into our source code, and look forward to working with Matthew again in the future.”
