Testimonials
Ofir Nachmani, CEO at IamOnDemand:
We've been collaborating with Kay since early 2020. During this time, he has
written dozens of articles for us on a wide variety of tech topics. His
technical expertise always shines through--he's even helped our clients debug
their products along the way! He is communicative, deadline-driven, flexible,
and extremely pleasant to work with--a true techie, writer, and a great guy.
An Editor:
Your writing is amazing, particularly for someone whose first language is (I
assume) German. When I see that a job assigned to me was written by you, I
always breathe a huge sigh of relief! [...] You are extremely meticulous
about the small things that an editor needs to pay attention to [...] I
almost thought you might be a native English speaker because your writing is
so good and so colloquial.
