Drive Unprecedented Value in Your Portfolio Companies with Strategic Tech & AI

I remember fondly having a conversation with James early in his career about transferring data covertly via a web page and he came up with a method for using the IMG cookies to do it. Wilson's Wafers, as I affectionately called them, have stuck in my mind as an example of where know-how, creativity, and a deep understanding of technology can lead you. James embodies hard work, tenacity and a thirst of knowledge that is quite uncommon. Couldn't recommend him enough.

Jim Watkins - GringoWare

President

It is rare to come across someone that has such vast knowledge about cutting-edge technology like James. I have worked with James for over one and a half years as an Entry-level Engineer and he at the time was the Tech Lead who design the implementation of the features from our stakeholders. And his designs have always exceeded the stakeholders' expectations in terms of performance. I was particularly impressed by how good James is figuring out the priorities from dozens of requirements, and at the same time produce a realistic design. It's a skill that takes years of experience, and continuous interest in new technologies. Aside from daily working communication, he would also send cool third-party apps or tools that allow one to personalize their MacBook which has helped me a lot. Therefore, as an engineer that has worked with James, he earns my highest recommendation.

Han Luo - WirelessCar

Central Service Reliability Engineer

It's hard to put into words the number of lessons James has taught me. From debugging any piece of code you can think of to thinking about how the engineering and business teams goals align, every lesson has been extremely valuable to me. The attention to detail and quality that James demands as well as the amount of knowledge and communication skills he brings to the table are what makes him stand out as a great technical leader. Overall, working with James has been nothing short of an amazing growth opportunity for me both personally and professionally.

Enrique H. Oliva - Northwestern Mutual

Software Engineer

James is one of the best developers I've worked with in over 15 years of development experience. He is creative, dependable and innovative with a wide knowledge of systems, languages and platforms. He would be a valuable asset to any development team.

David Kidd - CGI, Inc

Senior Consultant

I met James in a Linux discussion group approximately 3 years ago, and he has been an invaluable asset to me ever since. The hours of valuable time that James spent tutoring me were as valuable to me as the schooling. To put it simply 'James lives and breathes technology' and that is the truth. If you have the chance to work with him; you'll quickly be amazed at his level of knowledge and detail.

Harlan Olsen

Network Technician

James is a truly fantastic developer. He is not only highly skilled but is also in possession of that far more rare quality - he delivers. He worked unbelievably long hours on our project, hit the set deadline and came through when we really needed him - which was often. We were working with Google Wave at a time when the API was hardly formed, when the documentation was barely written and where there wasn’t really anyone to call upon to ask questions of, the expertise simply doesn’t yet exist. We were trying to get Wave to do things it had never done before. Being on the bleeding edge of bleeding edge technology meant James had to come up with solutions on his own, and come up with them he did. I can’t recommend James highly enough, I'm absolutely delighted with what he's done for us and I believe should you hire him you’ll be on here writing a recommendation very shortly afterwards too.

David Crane - 23 Ltd

James performed the tasks I gave him on time and beyond my expectations for detail. James appears to be an expert in a variety of programming languages and knows the IT side as well. I recommend him to anyone wanting results.

George Allen - AbiTeq Marketing, Marketing Automation Consulting

James is simply the most gifted person I've ever worked with in any field. If intelligence, talent, experience, and a genuine love of software development are desired, he would be the first one I would recommend.

Tom Carter - Self-Employed

James is an outstanding developer. He is pro-active and works through any issue giving several options for a resolution. James is hard working... giving extra time without hesitation. I would hire James again and will recommend him highly.

Lora Martin - Thales

Database Management

When I first got to see James at work, I could tell he was a good developer. Boy was I WRONG! He is EXCELLENT. He has a great breadth of knowledge, and is always looking to try out the latest and greatest thing. He quickly became the go-to-guy after being in the office for just a short time. What an asset.

John Ryon - ServiceCentral Technologies

James is amazing, high-spirited, and a fast learner. His witty problem-solving mentality complements his outstanding software development skills. He is always kind, courteous, and able to give the extra mile as a team member. I see great leadership in him and I highly recommend James for any of his future endeavors as a software professional. I enjoyed working with him in the last couple of months, and I look forward to it again.

Walker Holland - Tribute Technology

Team Lead/Software Engineer

James is a pleasure to work with. He has very good knowledge in many technical areas, and is a student of the trade (meaning he is always looking to learn more). James worked us through several tight spots in our projects, and did it with a smile. I would highly recommend James for any position needing a 'think outside of the box' developer!

Roger Hardgrove - Vehlo

Chief Information Officer at Vehlo, a Greater Sum Ventures Portfolio Company

I hired James after locating him through Linkedin. I have to say, James came through and then some. We were at a critical point in our development, having just lost our lead programmer. James jumped in with enthusiasm and did an excellent job for us. Could not recommend him more highly.

Scott Jamar - Squyres Communications

James is a flexible and brilliant programmer who isn't afraid to take chances.
