Bio
Tim Van Der Hulst
I am extremely pleased to have worked with James at Grabone for the past 18 months. He has an extensive knowledge and valuable skill set in Software Development, and in particular using the Python language. I have always found James to be an active and capable team member who gets on well with the team, contributes beyond the expectations, and in turn is well respected by everyone.

I have the pleasure of working with James for the past six months and delivered a number of major projects together at Image Centre. James is a very resourceful engineer and always able to come up with a graceful solution to any problem. He always has full understanding of the business requirements and able to envisage elegant solution on the architectural level. James is an all-rounder and is fully capable to build a whole web application from the back to front. He has an extensive experience in PHP, Python, MySQL, HTML/CSS (SASS), Javascript, and many other web technologies. On his free times he has done various iOS and Android apps as well. He is wonderful person to wok with. Full of initiative, he work tirelessly and always in good spirit. He works quickly and effectively. He realises potential pitfalls on every projects early on and act preemptively to make sure the project is delivered on time and on budget. While we don’t work with the same technology, I still can learn a lot from him. As a designer and front end developer I can say that James has a good understanding on user experience, design and aesthetic. He is very cooperative and always willing to go the extra miles to achieve good results. James is one of the most talented developers I work with and I would not hesitate to recommend him to anyone. Provide him with adequate resources and he will ensure your project’s success. It would be my pleasure to work with him again in the future.
