Russell was dealing with 25 year old code basically cobbled together with string and cobwebs exclusively written in Perl, deprecated after a server upgrade. In 3 days Russell got everything working perfectly...including an unforeseen SSL issue. Russell has great skills and a great 'can-do' attitude. I paid extra for Freelancer to hand pick referrals. Russell was their top choice! Thanks Russell!
