I’ve worked with James since April 2015, and I can recommend him as a competent and responsible person. James correctly organizes inner project interaction, promptly provides the necessary information and resources and makes timely and accurate decisions. I should also mention a strong technical background and a high problem solving skill of James.
James has been the go-to guy in the two areas he has worked in since I’ve been at City & Guilds – if you want something developed fast, well thought out and meeting the requirements then he’s your man. He relishes a challenge and if that means using something new he hasn’t done before then that’s an added bonus – keen, enthusiastic and excited about technology. I have no hesitation in recommending him to any prospective client/employer.
James is a naturally talented developer who produced some great products (websites, mobile apps etc) when we worked together at City & Guilds.
He also acted as the technical lead on a number of projects I managed where he was an invaluable source of advice.
