James is a highly skilled Systems Analyst / Specialist and SQL architect who effectively manages the development process from beginning to end. He elicits business requirements from the stakeholders and translates them into a working technical solution leveraging MS SQL, Excel, Access, Visio, project management, systems analysis & design, business intelligence reporting, data warehouse design & development, ASP .Net, and SharePoint. I highly recommend James for anyone who is in need of someone to develop a business intelligence solution, whether as a SQL Data Warehouse Developer or Systems Analyst.

I have had the great pleasure of working alongside James as a Project Manager at Citrix. I can say with great ease that I am thoroughly impressed with his level of dedication and professionalism. James has the rare ability to accomplish his most challenging project tasks with a creative yet practical approach. He is able to effectively communicate with all project team members regardless of area of functionality. These proven skills have allowed James to fearlessly take on a project of any size or complexity.
