Mike has been an excellent member of our project team and has continually demonstrated his commitment to the task in hand working over and above contractual duties when called for.
Mike is an excellent team player demonstrated by his ability to pick up new skills and his willingness to freely share his own knowledge for the benefit of the team. He has demonstrated this ability on numerous occasions when programme issues have arisen, during ‘think tank’ meetings working towards issue resolution and risk mitigation.
On a personal note he has been an excellent person to have in the team from a morale perspective and actively contributed to a proactive and friendly working environment. Given the opportunity I would definitely offer him future contracts should he be available.
Mike has continually demonstrated a wide range of programming knowledge and ability pick up new languages and technology in a short period of time.
There have been a number of challenges to accommodate during the writing of this piece of software. Mike has responded by showing great pragmatism and inventiveness.
Mike spends the time to make sure that his applications are thoroughly tested, and work in the most sensible and resource friendly fashion. He has great attention to detail, and is very meticulous. Mike also manages to produce code that is very sympathetic to existing coding practices and dovetails nicely into the existing codebase.
Mike has also assisted in the mentoring of junior members of the development team, willingly giving from his knowledge of web development to help other developers solve their coding problems. Mike has fitted in extremely well into the team and has played a full and active part in the office environment. When problems have arisen, Mike has always been able to come up with good and workable solutions to get round problems.
I cannot speak highly enough of Mike, he has been an excellent addition to the team and has helped the business by providing a crucial and robust piece of software at a time of exponential growth. I would not hesitate in taking Mike on again for future work.
