  Downsize is the most professional and talented contractor I've ever worked with. He has amazing PHP database programming skills and was able to create a database page, interaction templates, and admin section FROM SCRATCH to my exact specs in a fraction of the time I expected this project to take. He is new to RentaCoder and I went with him because his proposal was very thorough and intelligently composed. I'm very happy and have already started offering him more work. Get this guy on your team before he starts getting too much business.
