Testimonials

  • I feel that your strength as an engineer and a designer lie in your ability to be simultaneously creative and intelligent in your designs. You are also able to crank out multiple different scenarios at the same time, and in the amount of time most people would take to do one.

    Greg Wing, Mechanical Engineering Manager, LipoSonix Inc.

  • The battery stand design tool created by Roland has reduced our response time for design, quoting and draw dramatically, what was a lengthy process is now 10 minutes, allowing us to meet challenging customer deadlines.

    Wayne Eccles, General Manager, Anglo Engineering

  • There is no way this venture could have gotten this far without you. You created the over-toggle which worked brilliantly while also being incredibly durable. Then you came back from your trek and in < 72 hours resolved the jolt situation when time was ultra-critical. You prioritized my project very high both times that I needed it. You've also completed these tasks for an unbelievably low number of billed hours.

  • Last week was the USA Medtrade show I received several comments about the style and feel of the G90. It was received very well and customers (and competitors!) commented on the 'feel', simplicity and style. Thank you for all of your efforts, it helped make it easy for me to promote!
