Daniel is an exceptional young man. He first worked with me as an undergraduate on a 12 month placement and I was so impressed by both his attitude and standard of work that I didn't hesitate to offer him a full time role with us. Danny's talent's not only involve a high level of software development skill and knowledge but also an appetite and ability to learn and develop himself and a very can do attitude. What has impressed me most about Daniel is his ability to bridge the gap between the technical aspects and the people aspects of IT. I could always rely on him to interact with both end users and their businesses and form relationships of real value to them and us. He'll consistently go out of his way to help his peers and his customers and can see and deal with things from other's perspectives - a really valuable trait in the IT and service industry in general. Danny's talents and motivation are sure to take him a long way.
