“I was priveleged to work with Jim while on assignment in
NYC on a project with very aggressive deadlines and challenges. He is very
skilled in all phases of the development life cycle and in particular was
instrumental in design for efficient middleware data cacheing, helping
performance for customer web site visits. In addition I relied on Jim for
advice and his expertise in Unix and network related issues.He's also a very
personable guy who I looked forward to being around each work day.” October 28,

“I
worked with Jim on a very high profile project at ADT. During that time, Jim
was a key player who identified many J2EE specific issues. He single handedly
was able to identify several show stoppers and save the project from disastrous
results. He is team player and has a great attitude. I highly recommend him to
any organization that will treat him with the utmost respect he deserves and
where he can truly leverage his talent. If you want to take your company to the
next level, look no further.” September 8, 2007
Michael
Vargas, EAI J2EE Developer, ADT
was with another company when working with Jim at The Casey Group
“I had the
pleasure of working with Jim as a peer in the design and development of
production-grade business systems. Jim has extensive experience as a software
engineer having worked with many different technologies to create systems in
business domains. He has experience in all aspects of development, from
inception through analysis, design, implementation, testing, delivery and
production support. His most current skills were used to develop web-based
applications using the Java/J2EE platform using IBM WebSphere. Jim is also a
very strong Unix developer. Jim is able to understand a business problem and
break it down into a solution using object-oriented design techniques. He is an
advocate and practitioner of the Agile methodology. Jim also excels at
assessing third party technologies (Open Source frameworks), understanding
their strengths and limitations, and reusing them where it makes sense to
improve time to market and accelerate development. He has demonstrated more
than once the ability to combine these technologies to produce an end result
that meets a business need. Jim is a good communicator, is open-minded and
works well in a team setting.” September 8, 2007
Rob
Julian, Sr. Architect/Developer, The Casey Group for ADT
worked directly with Jim at The Casey Group
“Jim is a
valuable resource and was used in many ground-breaking exercises in the
formation of a large product suite we were establishing. Jim expertise at Unix
and all things CVS were invaluable in establishing initial procedures for
deployment artifact creation, tracking and deployment. This process was an
orchestration of ANT scripts that managed the complete archiving and versioning
of deployment artifacts for production release. He also developed the
deployment process documentation for the deployment and support group to
follow. This group, being a mainframe support group primarily, was completely
unfamiliar with J2EE based servers and the created process and supporting
documentation was simple and easy to follow resulting in a huge success by
allowing us to re-purpose existing resources in an entirely new field. He was
additionally used for his architectural strengths and was valuable in our
efforts to select the right distribution methods as we were building a complete
new system framework from absolute scratch.” September 10, 2007

Jim reported to Russell at The Casey Group

extremely knowledgeable in web development technologies and practices. He

Joe
Malanio, Senior Architect, The Casey Group
worked with Jim at The Casey Group
“Jim was
excellent to work with. I only heard great things about his programming code.
Jim is extremely knowledgeable and was often used as the in-house encyclopedia
for programming, Unix, etc. Jim's devotion to Casey Group projects got him to
finish code, test and debug on time and unfortunately there were no remaining
projects for Jim at this time. Although Jim is an excellent programmer, I think
his best quality is his friendly personality. At the Casey Group Jim always had
a positive moral boosting attitude that I believe inspired others personally
and professionally. I am hopeful to work with Jim again in the future.”

“Jim W is without a doubt one of the best developer /
architects in the US. In the early days of the Web Jim was developing
fully-functional complex systems ,when the rest of the pack was marveling over
the fact they just registered a dot com address. I would go in a sell a project
to a major company and Jim would deliver whatever we promised. Jim has
delivered over $5m of projects for me that still operate today.” August 16,
