Bio
Geoff C.
I have worked with James in two different companies. It was a pleasure to work with him. He is highly skilled and takes responsibility for anything that he works on. This can be seen by both working in senior positions and helping junior colleagues. He is self-motivated and gets on with the job.
Nerissa Morales
James is a good mentor. He is a passionate learner and very generous in sharing knowledge. When he first became aware of AWS, he was enthusiastic in explaining it to everyone in the team, and even organising an Introduction session for us. He took initiative on doing AWS courses after work and was able to nail several AWS certifications. He is not afraid to try out new things and volunteer on tasks outside of his comfort zone. He is confident that he will be able to deliver as he is technically adept and has excellent analytical skills. It has been a pleasure working with James and looking forward to have an opportunity to work with him again.
