Bio
Neil Purvey
Michael was my lead during my last contract at Sumo Digital. He solved any issues that were raised within the team very quickly and efficiently allowing the project to run smoothly during the whole time I was there. He is definitely a peoples person but also with the technical know-how to assess problems throughout a range of disciplines very well. Working for Mike was a pleasure.
