Good people.
Kind words.

“I hired Dan to deliver an ambitious iOS app in an even more ambitious timescale - and he knocked it out of the park.

Dan "just gets it" from both a product and a technical standpoint, so can be trusted to deliver robust solutions and great UX with even the minimum of management. The icing on the cake is that he's a great communicator too, I never felt out of touch with where he was up to or challenges we were facing.

Dan will without doubt be my first port of call next time around.”

“I wholeheartedly recommend Dan as a brilliant iOS developer.

He works incredibly fast, while writing clean code; he is pragmatic without skipping the 'little big details'; and he has an eye for overall business and product progress.

Dan shipped a TikTok-style video-first app in a matter of months, handling everything from smooth video streaming to interfaces for multiple different user types (creators and followers). He picks up new languages (SwiftUI in this case) with ease, and approaches new problems with enthusiasm.”

“I can hand on my heart highly recommend Dan and the iOS Development Service he offers.

As a newbie to the iOS Development world I had no idea what was involved, from day 1 Dan explained everything in a clear way so that someone like myself could understand and relate to. He was patient with all my stupid questions and when I needed something doing urgently for my live App he jumped onto it straight away. A pleasure to work with and I look forward to working with him in the future.”

“Dan worked with us on a very short notice to build a POC for an important client.

He quickly understood the requirements and turned into delivery mode delivering a high quality functional app in 2 weeks. He is flexible and understanding of changing requirements in a POC and is a pleasure to work with”

“Dan has been so helpful in giving very good advise.

I am new to the world of startups/the tech involved so went to Dan for help and advise. He went out of his way to explain simply but in great depth of how things work and his recommendations. I’ve gone to him for advise in the application world a couple of times and every single time he’s given great advise! Would recommend Dan to everyone as he is so helpful and will go out of his way to help you out!!”

“It was nice working with Dan as he was always vocal and entrepreneurial about recommendations and improvements to be done for the project.

He is also a good team player and definitely has tons of experience backing up his every technical involvement. Can definitely recommend.”

“I worked with Daniel at Veon over a 6-month period on a variety of projects and it was immediately evident that he had both a broad and thorough understanding of iOS development.

One of these projects was a challenging, time-restricted re-write of a huge legacy codebase in which I witnessed first-hand his excellent knowledge of implementing advanced UIKit features and protocol-oriented clean Swift with well crafted unit tests. At the same time Daniel did an excellent job of collaborating with design and product teams in locations across multiple countries. He has a great instinct for what the user actually wants and this provides a solid foundation that he builds on. I learned a lot from Daniel and he is without doubt one of the best iOS engineers I have had the pleasure of working with.

One of Daniel's standout features is his pragmatism, which allows him to cut through extraneous nonsense and prioritise delivering results. He is the sort of freelancer that will tell you if he thinks he has finished and you no longer need him -- and it's this sort of honesty that provides real value.

I would feel very confident hiring or recommending Daniel.”

“We hired Dan to write a new version of our main app from scratch, in order to fix some bad setup issues and to modernise everything.

Dan was instrumental in our decision to switch to Swift, and provided expert opinion on many architectural issues and plans.

He is supremely capable, able to take any task and get it done; he also has a lot of valuable experience that makes him an important part of any planning task as well as any team.

Dan is very friendly and is a genuine 'good guy'; I'd be more than happy to hire him again on any suitable project.”

“Daniel is an excellent developer and I thoroughly enjoyed working with him during our time at Filmflex and Vubiquity.

He has an in depth understanding of mobile development across multiple platforms and whether it's UX or server-side architecture I never found a topic where his knowledge was left wanting. While he gets a lot of justified praise for his aptitude at front-end development and design he is just as well equipped to develop at the lowest levels of the software stack.”

“I worked with Dan on the initial release of Elbi.

As one of two iOS devs, he led the development effort taking a prototype beta app to production release. He provided invaluable design, technical & ux insight, working with various stakeholders across the business. I was astonished by his level of commitment, working late nights, weekends and even through a family holiday to ensure we met a very tight, fixed deadline. A very pragmatic individual, he’s exactly the sort of person you need to get a product released and I would have no hesitation recommending him.”

“Dan is an awesome iOS developer.

He's someone who’s confident working across all areas of an application, works really hard to meet deadlines, and is a great team player. I’ve seen him produce advanced animations, improve core networking frameworks, mock out and specify requirements for the app’s data services, and explore ways to optimise the performance and network chatter of the app. He’s knowledgeable about all aspects of the Apple TestFlight and AppStore workflows, as well as industry best practices and good usability and accessibility conventions. He’s definitely someone who cares deeply about the product he is building, and its users.”

“Dan is a great guy who is full of banter and a beard that wouldn’t look out of place on Brian Blessed.

He bridges the gap between design and dev perfectly with an eye for the aesthetic that's not often found in tech. His willingness to achieve amazing UI that doesn’t come pre-packed is a massive bonus for any creative team.

User-centric in his approach and will always offer well founded opinion on how best to execute the grand idea within the realms of deadlines and tech feasibility.

A real pleasure to work with.”

“Dan was a real pleasure to work with.

Practical, pragmatic, with a deep, deep understanding of what it takes to build a brilliant iOS app; knows his stuff inside out, and a great guy to boot. If you're looking for an awesome iOS developer and you get the chance to work with Dan, do it - you won't be disappointed.”

“Working with Dan is a pleasure; methodical in his approach, creative during the planning stages, diligent development & punctual when its time to deliver.

And he looks like a really angry Spartan.”

“Dan is one of those rare breed of software engineers who not only possess great technical skills, but also a keen eye for design.

A true master of his craft, you can be sure that any product produced by Daniel will show a remarkable attention to detail and absolute faith to the original design. An exceptional talent, Dan's skills extend beyond his obviously brilliant technical skills, to include a deep understanding of UX, design, strategy and marketing, which enabled him to successfully prioritise his own tasks in a fast-paced startup. A good team member who was great fun to have around, we miss him loads.”

“Daniel and Myself have worked together on various iOS projects for almost 2 years.

He's got a great eye for design, which has been extremely useful in the projects we've worked on, he strives to develop innovative apps that are unique, and not your usual 'out of the box' iOS SDK kind of apps, and he's a UX evangelist. He also respects the development process. All which are qualities that I admire in a developer.

I could go into detail about him as a human being, but that's not important. This is BUSINESS. You won't regret hiring him to sort out your shit and deliver great projects.

So yeah.... he's the kind of developer I like to work with, which is why I'm bothering to write this review!”

“Daniel and I worked together on projects such as Red Bull and Sunseeker while at John Brown Publishing.

He would define Flash frontend specifications and the messages which I would need to provide from the backend. His excellent use of Flash and great creative design flair makes him stand way out of the crowd. His poor taste in fashion in no way reflects the fact he is fun and a pleasure to work with.”

“I worked with Daniel whilst contracted at Fingal when managing a project for Red Bull.

It was obvious within a few conversations that the young man was not only focussed but had the intelligence to match. I can confidently say that Daniel delivered some outstanding work and it was very obvious that he was going to establish a name for himself very quickly.

I would without a doubt consider Daniel for future work and I highly recommend him for any future projects.”

“Great talent, great work ethics, great fun.

great.”

“Dan is an adept developer (especially in flash), a good team player and easy to work with.

Always willing to go the extra mile for the success of a project and a problem-solver. I would highly recommend him to anyone who wants the best in flash development.”

“Dan is quite simply one of the most knowledgeable and authoritative developers I've had the pleasure of working with and he's sorely missed.

I wouldn't hesitate in recommending him to anyone who asks.”

“Daniel was a committed, hard working and creative developer with great Flash skills.

He demonstrated a wide ranging knowledge of technologies and applied this in innovative ways in order to offer a number of solutions to any challenges encountered during our time working together.

Would recommend!”

“Dan is a very talented developer.

It is apparent when working with him that he enjoys developing user facing applications. He has vast knowledge of flash/actionscript which he has shared with other team members within the department. He is highly motivated and has a very professional attitude to work. If you're looking for someone to do a job and do it right then Dan is your man.”

“I worked very closely with Daniel throughout the testing phase of a major release and it was a pleasure working with him.

He is both proactive and very responsive to requests and I would definitely look forward to any opportunity to work with him again in the future.”

“Dan was always a diligent and constructive member of our development team.

He progressed quickly from Junior Developer to become integral to the Flash department.”

“Daniel is an optimistic, fun and enthusiastic person to work with.

His calm, cool nature is both uplifting and refreshing. He is an asset to any team.”

“Daniel is an very hard-working and highly skilled developer, who can adapt to various scenarios from intense graphical projects to business logic and rich internet application development.

He is also versatile, and can switch between different technologies and approaches seamlessly.

Daniel is also highly insightful around the digital world generally, and has his finger on the pulse of social networking and digital trends.

He is pleasure to work with and manage, a great team player, and I would have no hesitation in working with him again.”

“Working with Dan during the development of the iPlayer for the the Nintendo Wii was a real pleasure.

He was always someone to count on to get the the tough jobs done. I look forward to our next opportunity to work together.”

“Working with Dan on the BBC Wii Media Player/ iPlayer launch he stood out as someone who has an excellent grasp of the technology.

Given that the project was to develop on a new/untested platform Dan's ability to adapt to that environment and suggest and implement robust solutions was very impressive.”

“Working as a Flash (ActionScript) developer, Daniel demonstrated a very high level of competence and ownership on the project.

He was quick to respond to requests, and always seemed to have a solution to problems.”

“Dan is a bright and knowledgeable developer whom, from my experience, would be a strong asset to any team!”

“I really enjoyed working with Daniel.

He is a very knowledgable Flash developer who is good at teaching other people. He fits in very well with the team and the ways an organisation works. He picks up requirements very quickly and takes on responsibility well within a project. He is very good at grasping the wider picture of a project and I would definately like to work with Daniel again at some point in the future.”

“Daniel is a fantastic person to work with.

He's a highly focused team player who thinks carefully about the goals of the project. He has helped to ensure the project was completed on time and on spec.

His professionalism and ability to work with a number of high profile internal and external partners helped to shape the project from the very start. Without Daniel I doubt we would have completed the project in the schedule we were working to.”

“In most companies there is one annoying kid who picks everything up twice as fast as his senior colleagues and makes seasoned pro's question their career choice.

Well, here's another one. Give him a job just to watch the grizzled veterans squirm.”

“Daniel is a talented young developer with great potential.

He is motivated, focused and knows his field. While I was senior developer at Fingal, his positive attitude and hard work made him stand out from his peers. It was a pleasure working with him and I've no doubt he will go far as a professional developer.”

“Dan was a very quick learner and everyone seemed very impressed with his work.

I have no doubt he will do a fantastic job on any Flash-based project.”

“Working with Daniel is always a great experience.

He works tirelessly, and has an underlying passion for what he does that is hard to find. His expertise, flexibility and openness in different web technologies allow him to get things done quickly and elegantly. I would strongly recommend and endorse Daniel.”

“When I joined Fingal, Dan was a junior front end developer.

In the period I was with Fingal as the lead front end developer Dan very quickly showed is talent for front end development, from html/css to advanced Javascript, which has lead him into flash development, an area which he has also excelled.

Dan is very driven and hard working and will relish any challenge or opportunity given, he is also very sociable and good fun to have about.”
