I had the pleasure of working with Rupert Paterson at Rollercoaster Digital, where I served as founder and co-CEO. Rupert initially joined our team through a recommendation, providing invaluable consultation on UI and UX for one of our flagship products. His exceptional performance led us to bring him on full-time as a Senior Developer and Technical Product Manager. In this role, Rupert showcased his expertise in front-end and back-end development, managing third-party developers, and handling comprehensive project and product management tasks. Rupert was instrumental in refactoring and redesigning a major customers B2B platform, resulting in significant enhancements to its security, scalability, robustness, and usability. His ability to interface directly with customers and users allowed him to solve challenges effectively and gain critical improvement insights. Rupert is a cool, calm, and collected professional with a polite and measured demeanour. His dedication and composure under pressure are truly commendable. I would welcome the opportunity to work with Rupert again and highly recommend him for any future endeavours.

I highly recommend Rupert as a member of any team. His curious and resourceful nature, coupled with a thoughtful and studious approach make him a great asset.

It's been a pleasure working with Rupert and I wish him well in any future team fortunate to have him.

A superstar developer and all round great team player. I thoroughly enjoyed learning and delivering exciting enhancements to the very complex Print & Create offering. I was particularly impressed with Rupert's studies (reads all the best programming books), philosophical and hands on approach to software engineering. Pair programming with Rupert was always a joy as we helped each other demystify new tech assets, churn out top quality features and UX and improve the team's dev practice along the way. A top communicator, problem solver, developer and all round great teammate.

I had the pleasure of working alongside Rupert in the same team for an extended period, and there is no one I would recommend higher. Rupert consistently demonstrated a high level of professionalism, an in-depth understanding of his responsibilities, and played a pivotal role in our team's success. Rupert possesses an impressive grasp of his field, consistently delivering exceptional results. He is not only knowledgeable but also adept at applying his expertise to solve complex problems.

Rupert has a remarkable talent for fostering a positive and productive team environment, making him an asset to any group fortunate enough to have him on board. I wholeheartedly recommend Rupert to any prospective employer or team as he is not only a reliable and skilled professional but also someone who enhances the overall dynamic of the workplace. I am confident that his dedication, expertise, and positive attitude will make him a valuable asset wherever he chooses to contribute his talents. Should the opportunity arise, I would gladly work with Rupert again as his impact on our team was significant, and I have no doubt that he will continue to excel in his future endeavours.
