James is a real team player. James is a strong project manager that is good with timelines and in scope focus. Plus, he has a strong sense of customer service. I enjoyed being part of his team.

Van Oler

James excelled under extreme deadline and budget pressure; technical expertise and calmness under duress made him indispensable to the entire team. He emerged as the axis around which the entire multi-discipline effort revolved. Delivered ahead of schedule and identified for the customer an 18% operating expenses (OPEX) savings opportunity along the way.
