Bio
Reuben Reid
Henry has been a committed member of our team for the last 2 years and is moving on due to COVID-19 related cutbacks. As a senior developer, he worked with our development team and reported to management taking the lead on several large scale projects. Henry was great at managing his own time & reporting daily or weekly on our Slack WIP calls and identified early on anything that needed escalating. Henry is very comfortable liaising directly with senior stakeholders & clients which is also an advantage. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Henry for a technical role, either as a safe pair of hands in a remote working position or an in-house development team.
Simon Berg
Henry is by a long shot one of the most pragmatic development level tech heads I've ever met or worked with. His enthusiasm and ability to get behind a common goal is second to none, merge that with his un-questionable development knowledge and creative problem solving, and its no wonder that there are at least 4 key projects at FMG that would never have made it over the finish line without his input. Oh and as a bonus hes great fun to go drinking with!
Robert McMichael
Henry is a very talented developer and technical manager. He has an extensive knowledge, and his open-minded approach could not be overestimated. He denotes a strong experience in areas such as project management and software architecture as well as client relations. It would be a pleasure to work with Henry again in the future.
