Testimonials

I've worked with James for a long time now and there's one thing that is guaranteed - I can throw the hardest and most complex programming problems at him and James will be able to crack it. His expertise and intuition when it comes to development is seldom matched.

Richard Griffiths, Rogue Vector

James is a diligent and technically proficient full-stack developer. He made significant progress on DataView which showcased his project management skills, as well as his ability to handle complex tasks and produce high-quality code. I would be happy to work with James again in the future.

Dan Knott, Hydro International

I have engaged James on projects across a few different businesses I've been involved with, and apart from being pleasant to work with, have found him to be incredibly competent - one of those programmers who doesn't just know coding, but eats, sleeps and breathes it, and so knows every trick.

Mike Faram, Energy & Environmental Technology

We have worked with James for many years now and they've never given us a reason to look elsewhere. Their work is of the highest standard and they're always willing to go that little bit further. We honestly can't imagine working with anyone else.

Julian Candy, PrimeTools

James quickly grasped what we wanted and offered constructive suggestions while we worked out a spec. All the work they have carried out for us has been to an excellent standard and we look forward to working with them on future projects.

Ben Halbert, City Satellite

We urgently needed additional developer resources to meet deadlines. We brought on James and he hit the ground running. He was able to grasp our requirements very quickly and was a massive boon to our development team when we needed it.
