Bio
Rich Clegg
John is not only a fantastic Manager, he is an extremely experienced Software Engineer. Under John's guidance my knowledge, skills and confidence skyrocketed, leading to a promotion very shortly after he became my manager. He takes a genuine interest in life outside of work, promoting a healthy work/life balance. His enthusiasm and eagerness to push and develop me within the work place was highly refreshing and motivated me to achieve my best. From a technical stand point, John is highly competent across the full stack and working with a wide variety of programming languages and technologies. He is constantly keen to share his knowledge with the team and is very good at explaining and guiding those as he does so. Overall it was a pleasure to have worked with and under John's guidance, hopefully out paths my cross again in the future.

John is not only an excellent manager but a mentor who will support his team fully to achieve their highest potential. John supported me every step of the way from starting out as a novice to becoming a full-time engineer. Every member of Johns team has progressed to promotion as he listens effectively to what goals you hope to achieve and provides guidance, drawing from his own expertise as a very successful engineer. The way he manages his team is relaxed yet is always there when you need him, and throughout the pandemic this approach has proved invaluable, as we moved to working full-time from home. Any engineer would be lucky to have John as their manager.
