Meet JAMES

Architect, Web & iOS Developer

ABOUT ME

To paraphrase the great philosopher Bruce Lee, I endeavor to be shapeless, formless,  like water. Which is to say I endeavor to be what is necessary for the task at hand, by utilizing the technology available, to solve any given problem within time constraints, for the wonderful people I serve and their customers.

To me this is what it means to take the shape of your container, as Technology is ever changing and fluid, like people, their  desires and circumstances. Thus to be a consistent solution you must be shapeless, formless, like water my friend :).
