Bio
Hanif Rahman
James has one of those valuable skills that are imperative in any futuristic and always improving programmer: listening, helping, and trying to understand why a certain solution is better for a given problem. At times, he might be lost deep in a problem trying to come up with a more structured, maintainable, and optimised solution, but if you interrupt him even at that occasion, he would still have that friendly smile and kind nature. Programming is tough, and we have bugs to fix, deadlines to meet, demons to fight, but someone like James is a pleasure to work with in scenarios like that.
Ed Kelly
James is a diligent and highly skilled developer, not just with PHP but across the development spectrum. His keenness to follow best practices such as TDD, Agile methodologies and reliable and scalable architectural practices are fantastic assets. Having worked with James across a number of different requirements, I can say with confidence that James is able to deliver a working solution on time, to specification and within industry-wide development guidelines and expectations. I would recommend anyone to work with James as it has been a joy.
