Client Success Stories
Jamie is an absolute Rockstar. Within a week of him working with us, he had already identified five different areas for improvement, given two inspiring talks, and created a handful of engaging demos, all leading to almost immediate ROI.
We engaged Jamie to augment our existing team to overcome some real challenges faced when we inherited a failing product from a different supplier. Jamie worked diligently and meticulously, making a real difference in our plight to overcome these challenges and rescue something that now provides significant benefits for our customers.
Jamie came in as a software consultant, working alongside our Platform team to coach them on .NET best practices and get them working properly in pairs and following SOLID and DRY etc. During his time he helped with our microservices architecture in Azure, working out some of the high-level flows and then working to improve unit test coverage and integrations with 3rd parties. He has tons of knowledge and is a real asset as a consultant, and would sit with different devs helping to un-block them. I’d have no problems recommending him for work in the .NET/Azure space.
