Testimonials
"I have no hesitation in recommending Mark. From the moment he joined the fully remote development team he was both popular and productive. He is delivery focused and very much a team player; working well with all parts of the organisation. Whilst Mark's Golang knowledge was already impressive he showed an aptitude and willingness to learn new skills and fully understand the development environment. For example, he was pivotal in implementing Kubernetes; researching options, presenting his findings and proving his hypothesis, carving the way forward. Mark is generous with his knowledge and able to work with all levels of the business as well as the technical teams. He quickly understands business concepts and requirements and can translate those into tasks. He helped implement Agile in parts of the organisation that were still using Waterfall methodology. As his development manager I appreciated that Mark could be trusted to own an issue through to resolution, that he would help mentor other members of the team, be happy and confident in offering his knowledge whilst listening and learning"
"Mark is an extremely competent software engineer with a vast understanding of software engineering patterns and approaches. During my time working with him I was amazed by the number of technical experiments he has piloted, a testament to his commitment to go above and beyond what is required of him."
"Mark is a very capable, imaginative developer, with a keen interest in software design... He has a remarkable grasp of .Net, is comfortable with Java and Python, and is not afraid to utilise new technologies where applicable.
He's the sort of person you can pass the seemingly impossible task and he WILL find a solution - dogged and determined.
No hesitation in recommending Mark for any Software Development role"
