Bio
Paul Evans
Over the past few years I have worked with Lance on a number of innovative products. Lance has an amazing breadth of technical skills and can seemingly develop in any environment ranging from smart card assembly language, C, C++, Visual Basic, JavaScript to Java Web Services. Lance is one of the most flexible developers I have ever worked with and he seems to pick up new techniques and technologies at an amazing speed. In my role as a technical project manager where many technologies are used, Lance is a dream developer – if something is delayed then you know that you can get Lance to help out on just about any aspect of the development work. Lance always delivers something better and quicker than any other developer in the team, in fact, if Lance is working on a development task then I know that I can often reduce both the development time and the associated test time since the defect count in Lance’s code is well below the team average. I have worked with many developers over the years, however if I had to deliver a project on which my entire job depended then Lance would be on the top of my list of resources regardless of whether he knew the technology involved or not.
