Darren B. is a Contract API Governance Architect at HSBC Commercial Banking. He possess expertise in agile methodologies, xml, microsoft sql server, sql, scrum and 46 more skills. Colleagues describe him as "Having worked with Darren for a considerable amount of time when he was at Tunstall on a contract basis, I always felt that Darren was contractor who gave his all in driving teams forward whilst ensuring technical alignment on proposed solutions. When you work with Darren you realise that he is exceptionally hands-on and that he doesn't just tell you what a solution should be, he actually builds it as a proof of concept which allows visualization of the end product at an early stage and he then owns the solution until the development teams were ready to take the builds further. For me, working with Darren was easy as, you always got an honest real world view of the challenge being reviewed and, we always took a 360 assessment on the challenge to make sure what was built was fit for use and fit for purpose. Darren was always willing to support discussions at any level of the organisation and is an accomplished presenter who is able to link the solution back to the strategic need. I also used Darren to improve other skills within my teams and, he did this really well which meant that we had alignment on process and standards which is essential and in turn, this allowed us to build high performing, collaborative teams. In summary, Darren is a great addition to any team, he adds considerable value across the board and he can apply his skills and experience to improve his colleagues around him." and "It has been a pleasure for me to work with Darren for two years and a half. I have improved my architectural and leadership capabilities by his mentoring. He is a leader with an analitycal mind, he listens to people and he always helps. He is "the one to go to" if you want to solve problems and a key/reference person for everybody in the team (architects, developers, business analysts, product managers/owners, project managers, etc) I recommend Darren with the highest level, having him in the team means success. I look forward to working with him again in the future."
