I've spent my whole career shipping great products on shoestring budgets and skeleton crews. Now I help teams do the same, with AI doing the heavy lifting.

I worked with Gabriel several times over the past five years and cannot recommend him enough. So much so that I've hired him multiple times to lead and develop. He's smart, trustworthy and a great partner in thinking creatively not just about technology solutions - but how they match to business decisions.

Gabriel has been an incredible asset to CityRow. He is a skilled engineer with a strategic, entrepreneurial mindset. He is creative, nimble and, as a founder himself, is a leader who understands how to align tech with business goals. Having Gabriel's level of talent on a fractional basis has been an absolute game changer for us.

Gabriel's rare mix of technical skill and business insight consistently delivers success. He's a joy to work with, fostering a positive team environment, and his diverse expertise in podcasting, web development, app creation, and business analytics is a game-changer. Any organization would be lucky to have him.

I met Gabriel over a year ago as just another 'Developer'. What I didn't know is that his product development acumen is the stuff of SaaS legend! Gabriel is willing to research, try, and optimize. He is a miracle-working IT leader with too many ideas. All the work I have done with Gabriel has helped to drive my industry forward as a whole, not just solve customer needs.

Gabe is not only a fantastic developer, he's also a lovely colleague. He quickly got to work building what we asked for, and he did it well in a reasonable time frame at a reasonable price. We would love to have him on our team full-time if it were possible. We would absolutely hire him again without reservation.

What Gabe delivered completely exceeded my expectations. Within one week, he created a streamlined consultation process that other consultants had struggled with for months. He's exceptionally smart with a rare ability to make complex technical processes feel simple. He quickly understood my needs, translated them into practical solutions, and saved the attorneys at my firm hours each week.

Gabriel's talent as a remarkable software developer enabled us to take our platform to a level that would take most dev shops months to complete. Finding an exceptional software engineer is rare. Gabriel Perez is a true hidden gem!

Working with Gabriel was not just a service experience but a partnership that added substantial value to GyftGram.
