Bio
Adam Cameron
Duncan and I have been on working together on the HostelBookers.com ColdFusion team for 4.5yrs (since I started at HB). I greatly value Duncan as a teammate: he's a very solid CFML developer, and has an uncanny and tireless attention to code-quality and detail which has made him one of the best developers on our team. Unusually for such an attentive approach to his work, Duncan also manages to be one of the most expedient devs we have: he just gets on with the work, gets the job done, and we seldom if ever need to revisit the code. He's supportive when it comes to adopting or following process, but is never dogmatic about it (which I think is a great quality in a dev). Duncan's a great chap, friendly, and easy to work with. I could not recommend him more to anyone who was thinking of working with him.
