I hired Dan to help me develop a rather complex and detailed add-in for Excel. Several programmers said it either couldn't be done how I wanted it or assured me that they could do it but failed to convince me. I chose Dan because he took the time to explain, in detail, the steps he would take to complete the project and addressed the issues that I knew he should be addressing.
Dan was extremely proactive in making this a successful project. On several occasions, Dan offered creative suggestions to enhance the product and was always willing to go the extra mile. Dan could have easily done just what I asked of him and I would have been satisfied; however, Dan actually seemed to care about making this a good product and he thought of several things that I hadn't. Using only my ideas this would have been a good project but with Dan's proactive and creative attitude/solutions he has made my product look great.
I felt that Dan had the experience and intelligence to not simply take direction but anticipate potential problems that may arise, from a programming standpoint, and offer perhaps a better or more logical approach, when necessary. That said, Dan was always willing to accommodate all of my project demands; however, I am extremely glad that he took the initiative to add his suggestions, many of which I took. I should also mention that Dan has taken great care in terms of code optimization and post-project troubleshooting. Finally, Dan has good communication skills and met or exceeded every one of my deadlines. For my upcoming projects, Dan will have my first consideration.
