Bio
Zbigniew Dziurgot
James's Java skills are impressive. It was a real pleasure to see how professionally he approached various software problems - SDLC at it's finest, backed by strong Agile understanding. One of a few devs I've seen that does not need to be chased to do Unit Tests, too - a walking example of how the job should be done. If something was done by James, you can rest assured that it was done right, from requirements gathering/refining a story, through sound and clear design to a flawless implementation with a great documentation. Additionally a very likeable chap - a trait not so common among IT folks.

James is an extremely reliable and competent software engineer. I worked with James at Cognito while I managed the web team and I always knew that whatever work that he picked up would be done to a very high standard. In addition to this James was always able to put his current task on hold and respond to a support issue in a very efficient and professional way. James has picked up the team lead role for the team now I have left and I know that he'll do a superb job. It's been a pleasure working with James.
