Simon Rolph
Experienced Solution Architect and Development Manager
Adam continued to provide workable solutions in a difficult environment and added great value to the project, as well as imparting some of his knowledge and experience onto a developing team. Without hesitation I would enlist the services of Adam again, having found his natural ability to derive the best from everyone he worked with and mentored.
Johnny Hall
Lead Technical Architect
Although it's been a while since we worked together, my memory of working with Adam at Intelliflo is still sharp. Adam was undoubtedly the most talented developer of our group and he quietly and diligently built many of the key parts of our framework and helped to make my code better, for which I was very grateful.
Burton Wevers
Mobile Developer
Adam is a great mentor and is not reluctant to give advice, whilst at the same time allowing you to still consider your own solution to a problem. Hands down one of the best developers I have had the honor of working with.
Steve Lotfi
Senior Software Developer
I'm fortunate to have had the opportunity to cross paths with Adam. He was the Software Architect leading both the R&D department as well as the IRT Platform. One of Adam's greatest accomplishments during his tenure at YPrime was to build and lead a team to refactor one of the core products .
During this process he introduced newer technology solutions, the use of effective design patterns, and proper code reviews. Aside from being well read with the latest news from Microsoft and core software development principles, Adam is an amazing mentor. I consider myself lucky to have had the privilege to work with him and welcome the opportunity to work with him again.
