Christian GainsleyOwner of Indie Darling / IDLE Press
“We hired Rocket 5 to build software infrastructure for our indie arcade cabinets—diagnostic utilities, Linux kiosk automation, and guides for operators and developers. The documentation is well-structured, the aesthetics were pitch-perfect, and the technical implementation has been bulletproof.”
Eric TremblayStation Manager, CJAI 101.3FM
“Our old website had become a Frankenstein of outdated technology. Tim took a needs-based approach, documenting our requirements while understanding both visitor experience and staff workflows. When we launched, we immediately received positive feedback. He's amazing at leveraging modern technologies to bring custom solutions to life.”
Keith MercerBoard Chair, The Back Kitchen
“As a volunteer-run cafe, we needed a partner who understood our limited resources but could still deliver professional results. Tim transitioned us from a basic Square website into a comprehensive community hub—event calendar, newsletter archive, sponsor showcase. His attention to detail and genuine investment in our success made all the difference.”
Irene CortesFounder, Gata Games
“I've been working with Rocket 5 from the inception of my studio. Tim and Cathy have been an instrumental part of the team, from managing the execution of our projects, art direction, pipeline, getting hands-on with building, to design, to... everything. Tim's the first guy I go to when I have an idea I want to prototype. I'm massively grateful for all of the work we have done together.”
Adam ClareLead Game Designer, Wero Creative
“It was great working with Tim. He was able to take our abstract ideas translate them into something that could actually happen inside of code and make it all function in a very short time. Tim is reliable efficient and a dependable game designer, programmer, and collaborator. Tim's experience and knowledge of the games industry is second to none.”
Kinjal Desai, PhDSenior Research Associate
“Tim was professional and responsive throughout the project. The discovery process was thorough, and he delivered exactly what was promised on time and within budget. My new academic CV website perfectly showcases my research and publications in a clean, professional format, just as I wanted. Thank you, Tim!”
