What I Do
Recommendations
When I met owden, I was under a lot of pressure to finish our website . I was relieved to see how articulate his methodologies were, attentive and focused. He has an artistic eye for web designing and is always calm. Although had a lot on his plate but executed the task promptly. Glad we worked together.
I don’t think most people get the opportunity to work with an amazing manager, coach and mentor like Owden. Working with Owden over the past summer as my Android app development supervisor at INETS Company in Tanzania was an experience of a lifetime. I was particularly impressed with Owden’s ability to juggle multiple projects at the same time. Between customer support, designing and developing software, and occasionally helping me debug some unusual errors, Owden did all of this flawlessly by giving each task his best efforts. Oh, and he always invited us to his weekly music performances where he plays the guitar as part of a small local band. What a multitalented person! Any person would be very fortunate to have Owden as a team member or a leader. He has earned my highest recommendation.
Owden is one of the most professional individuals I know. He is very easy to work with and great at communicating expectations. I was his client on a web development project and I was impressed with his attention to detail and not compromising on quality. I was confident that he knows his stuff and he is as genuine as they come. On a personal level, Owden is a great conversationalist and a good listener. Have coffee with him and find out.
I serve alongside Owden Godson at The Ocean International Community Church and it is such a great joy to work with this committed, energetic, fully engaged and humble young man. Owden single handedly manages the church's website including our e-commerce acquiring (which he lead the integration along with our bank and Inets Team) which has been an instrumental tool in connecting our church members to the church wherever they are in the world. He is switched on and delivers quality work all the time. He is a gentleman of integrity and it continues to be a great honour to serve alongside him.
Worked with Owden on a project, was amazed with how he was willing to go extra mile just to make sure that we finish the project on time and meet clients expectation”.I remember one incident when the client provided the logo but wasn’t that good then this guy decided to even design one free of charge.😎
