Customer Testimonials

We highly recommend Professional Wiki for any project in the Mediawiki/Wikibase space.
IP Squared and Digital Werktuig, for Automated Values and Wikibase EDTF

We wished to display SPARQL query results in our Wikibase and commissioned Professional Wiki to develop a solution. They created a flexible extension that is just what we needed.
Dr. Tim Conrad, Professor at Freie Universität Berlin

Professional Wiki helped us to fine tune our requirements and created the excellent Wikibase Export extension for non-technical users. It’s very clean, clear and user-friendly.
Dr. Renat Shigapov, Koordinator der NFDI AG „Knowledge Graphs“ at Universität Mannheim, for Wikibase Export

Professional Wiki provided Rhizome with competent and timely custom development work. Making use of all the tools that are available to open source developers today, the team built extensions that follow modern software design guidelines, are easy to install, configure, and maintain, and include good documentation and automated testing. Quite unique in the Mediawiki space!
Dragan Espenschied, Preservation Director at Rhizome

Jeroen is one of the most productive and passionate developers that I know. Without Jeroen, Wikidata would not have such a rich range of functions and would be built on a less flexible, lower-quality codebase and architecture. Jeroen has in-depth knowledge and broad experience about clean code and software architectures. I have always appreciated his professional attitude, collegial and reliable manner. He is an absolute win for any team and project!
Abraham Taherivand, Executive Director at Wikimedia Deutschland, for Wikidata and Wikibase
