Keith Fredericks CTO Maguma AG

Keith was in charge of Matthew's team which handled both web-based work as well as software created for a production environment for web application development and platforms.

Matthew worked for Maguma AG (now Maguma GmbH) from October 2000 up until the present as a designer for both marketing and software development.

During his employment with Maguma, Matthew exhibited extraordinary talent in design for the web, print publications and even displays for exhibitions. He was particularly adept in applying his user interface design skills to the Maguma Studio and Maguma Server products. I have worked with many designers as a technical leader for software companies and Matthew is the most talented designer I have ever worked with, coming up with innovative designs, iterating those designs based on feedback, and then implementing those designs. I would highly recommend Matthew to work in any organization that requires design, but especially for a technical company. The expertise, good common sense and his excellent ability to work in a team would clearly be a benefit to any business.

Please contact me personally at keithNOSPAM@orbis.net if you would like to know additional details concerning Matthew's employment with Maguma."

Martina also worked alongside Matthew during a several year period at Maguma AG and then later upon starting her own business became a client of Matthew when she needed a website solution for her new startup.

Matthew is a great partner to work with.

He immediately understands what the requirements of a customer are. His design solutions are appealing and always up to date. I have had a lot of compliments for my logo that he has designed. Another very important virtue Matthew has is that he remains calm and patient even under pressure. He has the ability to react in the most professional way regardless of the situation.
