Client Endorsements & Reviews

John has shown me things that I did not know were possible to create with Flash and Actionscript. We worked well together using our respective technical strengths to deliver a product that is greater than the sum of it's parts. I sincerely hope the opportunity arises where we get to work together again.

John is a highly recommended Flash developer who is able to not only develop great applications but also manage the user's requirements and deliver a suitable product. He brings with him a wealth of experience. I enjoyed working with John. I highly recommend him.

John constantly amazed me by taking the most basic of briefs and producing beautiful, database driven, animated web applications. He is a dedicated professional who is also a joy to work with. The first project he built for BG was an international, scaling office locator which integrated with Google Maps. Then he built an interactive desk locator which accessed the HR staff database and a series of building schematics in a different database. This allowed people to locate each other easily, whether they were at their regular desk or a hotdesk. I would have no hesitation in recommending John for any project requiring high levels of Flash and AS3 skills, especially if it involved mapping.

John has demonstrated both excellent software development and good client relationship skills during the time I have known him. He has shown repeatability, adaptability and dependability of delivery often under pressure scenarios. I would have no hesitation in recommending his work and I would be delighted to work with him again in the future.

John has been an exceptional and valued work colleague. His knowledge of his chosen subject is second-to-none and he has always been able to rise to a project challenge in a timely fashion but also with creative flair. His understanding of end users needs is also an important and commendable attribute he posses. I would happily recommend John and with out question, work with him in the future if the opportunity arises.

John has a deep understanding of brand strategy but also has the hands-on skills to implement his ideas. His extensive experience in the creative element of online media is rivalled by few and he would be a valuable addition at almost any level within a team. He’s a fun guy to work with and I hope our paths cross again!

John & I worked together on a very high profile product relaunch with fixed timescales, a challenging budget, and consistently changing scope. Entering any project which has already kicked off can be daunting for a PM, especially in a new country (Deutschland) so it was excellent to be introduced to John over a cuppa Yorkshire Tea, and to be given a comprehensive and completely understandable briefing on development completed to date. John was a key member of the Application Development team, and together we ended up running with multiple concurrent projects. He is a fastidious developer, a methodical problem solver, and delivers high quality work. He is excellent at providing updates to progress, explaining the details and providing ‘layman’ explanations where required. All qualities which make having him as part of your team, a dream! John was instrumental in creating the very close team bond we experienced at Sky Deutschland working on the Hyperdrive project. As a final note, this project has been lauded in Sky Deutschland as an example of outstanding project & product delivery and the team was 1 of 4 shortlisted as outstanding international delivery team in the Sky Awards. In addition he is great fun, can lighten the mood when it gets a bit much, and is a fantastic Social Secretary, I miss working with him already. Oh and I have run out of T-Bags

John came in last minute on a job and saved the day. He is a true expert in his field and slotted into the team seamlessly. And to top it off he is a really nice guy. I wouldn't hesitate hiring him in again and I highly recommend him to any other employer.

I hired John to work on an automotive project at imagination. It was a tricky job with many client changes. John coped with this very well and delivered on time, he even went the extra mile when needed. I would definitely get John back in to work again on another project.

I worked with John on a good many projects whilst at University. After university, I found the opportunity to engage John in some freelance Flash projects. Always a pleasure to work with, John gives his full focus to each project he works on. John pays great attention to detail and also thinks around and ahead of the problem, to ensure that the solution he provides is not just a quick fix, but has longevity and reliability. I have no hesitation in recommending John's work.

John has been a key part in the successfully and timely delivered application development project “Hyperdrive” at Sky Deutschland working together with Gillian Hughes, who took over as an external project lead on my behalf and has joined my team since then. John has taken over responsibility and leadership within the international development team, always looking forward, thinking ahead, being creative and fast in flexible and scalable solutions/implementations. He kept his enthusiasm when things were tough and proved his ability to easily adapt to new requirements and changes. John also demonstrated excellent communication and delegation skills.

John managed to get familiar with the German ways of living & working (at Sky) really fast, lived team spirit at its best, delivered highest quality work and simply is a great person. Thank you very much, John! I would love to have you back in the development team if a new project kicks off.

I worked together with John at the technology division of Sky Television in Germany in the development of the set-top boxes. It was great working together with John for at least two reasons. First, his great way of dealing with technical problems finding solutions for new challenges but also digging deep into existing problems and finding the root causes and solutions on unknown territory. Secondly, his personality, being an absolute team player, bringing the overall team that he is working with to new heights. Combining both of these abilities he ensures that the overall project went overly successful with good technical results and an immensely motivated team.

Together with John, in a few months, we totally reviewed a Flex/ActionScript application to make it more reliable and easier to maintain. During this process John introduced extra scripts to automate and improve deploying and testing. He challenged us to question every part of our application chain and find the best solution for every problem. Great person to have in your team!

John had worked for me at Televic Rail for approx 6 months. He started to dive into our system and quickly became familiar with the whole technical flow. John could identify problems very fast and came with good solutions and recommendations.
I highly recommend John because he has shown that the has both good technical and good personal skills during his stay at Televic Rail. I will definitely contact him again when similar tasks would be needed again in our company in the future.
