Jake Withecombe

Director, Giraffe CCTV

Kevin has become a crucial part of our team. He brings a wealth of practical electronics experience and is a fantastic mentor to our more junior members of staff. His attention to detail is second to none - a recent external design review praised the work, saying 'The design quality is the best I have ever seen during my hardware reviews'.

Chris Melchior

Director, UnconstrainedTime

Kevin did a great job of correcting the many problems in a Flex-PCB designed by someone else and improving many aspects of the design. I appreciate his professional and conscientious approach and his clear and friendly communication. I look forward to working with him again as my project progresses. Highly recommended.

I've worked with Optimised and Kevin on three separate projects, and on each occasion he has delivered excellent results. I've been very impressed with his broad range of skills, from designing complex miniaturised electronics within CAD through to firmware development for our custom Bluetooth devices. He has been a pleasure to work with and look forward to working with him in the future.

Director, Telos

In my experience, Kevin's electronic engineering knowledge is unmatched. I honestly believe he's the best at what he does. His commitment to projects is exemplary, whilst continually providing key technical insights and picking up the fine details that others miss. He and Optimised are an invaluable asset to my extended design team, and my first and last contact on any new project we start. He's an absolutely amazing find and I can't recommend him enough.
