Colleagues describe him as "Dan was the first person I met at Deskpro, being my first interview, in which he made me feel comfortable but also brilliantly explained the philosophy of the company and details of what the role would entail. After joining Deskpro, Dan became my line manager and he was key in helping me get settled in, always on hand if I had any questions and holding frequent check-ins to ensure the onboarding progressed smoothly. His depth of experience and knowledge were invaluable at this time. Dan also frequently attended standups and was a key part of the planning and transition to development squads, to which he was an important point of contact to ensure smooth collaboration. Dan has deep technical knowledge, matched with the ability to communicate effectively, making him a great asset to any team.", "I've worked with Dan at Deskpro for the past two years and I can't recommend him highly enough. At Deskpro Dan worked hard to foster an environment of great collaboration, support and direction - making Dan's department an absolute joy to work within. Dealing with sometimes challenging situations, Dan maintained a calming force to help us navigate and perform to the best of our abilities. I myself sought support from Dan on several occasions, and I always left our calls feeling positive :) Dan introduced and supported many of our development processes and reporting functions, closing the loop on improving the efficiency of our department. As well as this, Dan ran many of the meetings and ceremonies that these processes mandated, and he always did so with clarity and direction. I worked closely with Dan during several of Deskpro's recruitment drives and I was always impressed by his professionalism and ability to lead the communication in interviewing many candidates. It was an absolute pleasure to work with Dan at Deskpro, and I highly recommend him for anyone seeking a skilled software engineering manager.", and "I had the pleasure of working with Dan at Deskpro for almost 2 years. Dan spent a significant amount of time recruiting its development team, organising the definition and advertisement of roles with recruiters and screening applicants at the first interview stage. Dan's work in recruitment directly resulted in the recruitment of half of the engineering team. He implemented Scrum development processes, building reporting of the process performance, and providing training and support to the team. He championed a new team structure on behalf of the engineering team to upper management that moved away from the mostly flat structure that existed before. This gave engineers career development and progression opportunities in the process that had never existed before. I highly recommend Dan for any business looking for a skilled software development manager."
