Their mission

(they chose to accept it)
Bring out the best in others
“
James inherited an over-engineered, obscure and redundant section of our code from devs that are no longer with us and no longer available to answer questions. He had to make sense of all of it and come up with a better solution for where we wanted to go. He has delivered 150%. James has brought stability, predictability and trust to code that is crucial to our business. By doing this, he has improved the whole team's self confidence.
