Bio
Jose Roa
James is a brilliant and talented engineer and the kind of person you'll love to work with; he makes work fun and enjoyable. I had the pleasure of working and managing James at DAZN, where we worked on content discovery for living room devices. James is a thoughtful engineer that loves to solve problems. He proposes well-thought solutions after looking into the problems from different angles and accessing the various options. As a team leader, managing James has been a pleasure, seeing how quickly he progressed and smashed every goal set for him, showing incredible ownership. I've been fascinated by his native communication skills and how easy it is for him to deal with difficult stakeholders. James went from driving sprint demos and architecture sessions to later building a tool that has helped us reduce the time spent on OKR planning by half. He is curious and passionate about the product, making one of the best product-minded engineers. He tries to understand the whys of every decision and how our users use our product to share ideas about new features or changes to UI/UX. His suggestions not only contributed to improving the UX for our customers but also helped us to tackle technical constraints. His energy is contagious, and he ensures no one leaves a tense meeting without a smile. Any company would be lucky to have James in their team, plus you'll get to play a newly invented sport and have Sainsbury's hazelnut croissants for free.

I had the pleasure of working with James at DAZN where we worked on content discovery for television devices together. James brings his creative energy to work everyday: ultimately lightning the mood and generally providing a breath of fresh air. He is a thoughtful engineer; solutions he proposes are usually well considered from different angles to the benefit of the end consumer (both in terms of UX and device performance). James has a good breadth of knowledge of the FE space from JS and CSS to building accessible UIs for web and TV with React. I am confident that he will continue to go from strength to strength and wouldn't hesitate to recommend him!
