James takes pride in his ability to showing people the art of the possible. Working with Infrastructure and the wider business to create and implement design patterns that are highly available, reliable and scalable is crucial to the success of his designs; ensuring strict governance throughout architecture is a crucial marker of success within his current role. A key collaborator, allowing for the synergies within an existing business and externally to flourish, is part of the success to creating accomplished solutions.Having graduated originally as a Games Developer from BCU in 2012, his enthusiasm for new technologies is now channelled into his every day job, working for the National Farmers Union as an IT Applications Designer.James is continuing to gain experience and deliver in his roles in preparation for the eventual migration abroad and would therefore consider visa sponsored jobs.He has previously worked within the Engineering Sector at IMI Precision Engineering and the Ministry of Defence as a Business Intelligence Analyst at the Defence Infrastructure Organisation, working closely with all sectors within Military estate to analyse data and produce meaningful results.
