<em>“I worked with Schalk during my tenure as Head of Tech for RunwaySale. From the first interview you could tell that Schalk had expert knowledge about the web, and in particular the front-end.</em>
</p>
<p>
<em>Schalk's thirst for knowledge and quest for producing great solutions was infectious.At the time RunwaySale was running on the Magento 1 platform, and Magento's frontend-templating system, is well-known for being unfriendly towards developers. Yet Schalk, having no Magento knowledge, led the re-design of the RunwaySale website.</em>

<p>
<em>He invested in building a knowledgeable team, and promoted study courses which would up skill the frontend team.”</em>

He has a keen eye for UI/UX, so he will not simply execute but give feedback on improvements that can be made.</em>

<em> Lastly, the team has greatly appreciated having him involved seeing that he has extensive experience and knowledge of the latest trends, best practices and patterns, and a willingness to mentor others in these areas.”</em>
