Bio
James Thomas
One of Paul's strengths is his desire to do do the right thing for his colleagues, his teams, and his company. I have witnessed him putting a great deal of time and effort into finding paths that balance competing interests in an equitable way. This dedication, and the depth of his own experience, helped him with line management responsibility and the kind of day-to-day negotiation that helps work to run smoothly. Paul is technically talented too. On the programming side, he grew in ability and confidence as he progressed from scripting, through building test suites, and into sophisticated solutions to tricky testing and infrastructure challenges such as deploying environments and gathering performance data. On the technology side, he learned whatever was needed to the depth it was needed in order to investigate, and then provide informed feedback on, whatever features we were building.
