–Recomendations–
Wei has collaborated with me on various web-based projects for more than ten years. My production company works primarily in the arts and medicine. Wei has designed and administered sites on subjects as diverse as disparities in child abuse reporting, diabetes, palliative care in Africa, and medical humanities.
Wei is a valued collaborator with multiple talents. He is an artist, photographer, and designer who works well with clients and production people. Above all, he is a kind and generous man who is curious about the world around him.
–Lucy Bruell
Project Director, Medhum.org
I had the pleasure of working with Wei on numerous projects at Greater Than One.
Details details details. Wei has an incredible attention to detail which is funneled through a very particular kind of erudition and problem solving. As an example — there were numerous technical challenges our team was faced with when developing new and exciting online rich media content. Because of Wei's technical know-how and keen workarounds we were able to create a meaningful and robust branded experience, while staying within the limitations of budget and format.
Wei is an incredible asset to any team, and one is simply humbled by working with him.

Wei is one knowledgeable, reliable, and dedicated tech lead I’d worked together for 2 years at GTO. He is a tech expert with a creative design mind set, who communicates and collaborates well across the team. He see the big picture, everyone’s point of views while provides his own takes and solutions. His works are detailed oriented quality and picture perfect as final product, which safeguard designers’ original intent. Well respect to Wei, and look forward to work with him again.

I worked with Wei closely for 3 years and found him to be attentive, energetic, collaborative, and professional. Wei, works tirelessly with his all members of the team to make sure the project goes as smoothly as it can from start to finish. Wei will go the extra mile to make sure deliverables are met to the clients request.
–Tom Fox
Program Manager, Klick HealthcareProgram
Wei is a graduate school colleague who I have supervised as a freelancer. He is a very sharp creative guy who is driven, meticulous, and conscientious - I wouldn't hesitate in hiring him again. He has a unique combination of great design, programming, and conceptual chops. After many years of freelancing he took a FT gig and has been focusing on web dev and tech work -- it's no surprise to me that he's done well with that focus. Wei is also an extraordinarily talented photographer, knowledgeable re lighting and videography, and a fine partner in anything related to food. A really multi-talented guy!
–David Lasday

Wei is a wonderful team player and extremely smart. We worked together to launch several websites and it couldn't have been done without him. He is detail oriented and always thinking outside the box. Would love to work with him again.

I would definitely recommend Wei.
