What clients and colleagues say about my work

The first set of quotes comes from the public work history on my Upwork profile, copied as the client wrote it, typos included. Where Upwork cuts a long review short on the profile page, an ellipsis marks the cut. I name the kind of project and the month the contract closed, and I leave out the client, because a review is permission to be quoted, and naming them is a separate permission.

The record behind the quotes

As of November 2026 the profile shows 132 jobs, 4,155 hours, more than $200K earned, a 100% Job Success Score, and the Top Rated badge. Upwork also tallies the endorsements clients tick when a contract ends. Here they are as the profile counts them:

Recommendations from colleagues, clients, and students

Older than my Upwork years, these come from LinkedIn recommendations and the testimonials collected on chrisabraham.com. Square brackets mark a word I changed for this page, usually a firm's name swapped for mine, and an ellipsis marks a cut.

"When I worked with Chris he was an experienced web developer, and since I worked with him he has become a well-respected expert on public relations, SEO, and reputation management on social media, including countering Black Hat tactics. If you or your company is looking for assistance in these areas, Chris is an excellent person to talk to."

Michael Bernstein, full stack developer, designer, and consultant

"I had an honor of working with Chris on multiple projects at Kimberly-Clark, Mizuno, and Sage software. [Chris] introduced a concept of blogger outreach to me for the first time, and I was skeptical at first, not having any experience with these types of programs. Well, Chris made me a believer after our first program, and he completely went above and beyond my expectations on KPIs. Our site traffic, brand awareness, and most importantly organic search rankings made us rockstars…"

Sergey Krayev, Managing Director, Partnership Network

"For as long as I've known Chris, he's always been thoughtful and innovative in thinking about how businesses can use new technology to enhance their brand recognition and reputation. But he's not the sort that simply preaches the latest buzzwords: I have found that he's careful to ask the right questions and understand the unique nature of a business, to inform his recommendations on the mix of approaches that are likely to help my businesses grow."

Michael Crow, Chief Data Illuminator, Crow Insight

"I have known Chris for several years and I consider him one of my "go to" sources when I am looking for advice or counsel on social media.

Dependable and a pleasure to work with. I recommend him 110%."
