James came to Shift from Datacom, where he held key roles on projects for Statistics New Zealand, the Ministry of Education and Standards New Zealand, among many other clients.
Shift Wellington's newest Account Manager, he brings a diverse range of experience to the team. He has a strong knowledge of all aspects of the web-development process and enjoys guiding a project from conception to delivery. His talent for taking "geek speak" and translating it to plain English is often appreciated by our clients.
It doesn’t matter whether you’re a lion or a gazelle – when the sun comes up, you’d better be running.

His favourite project so far has been Spidertracks, an exciting and innovative client offering of real-time GPS tracking of aircraft. James relished the opportunity to be involved in the design of an online application that can help save lives, and enjoyed working with an entrepreneurial client with bags of enthusiasm, helping them realise their vision.
When he's not parenting his young son Ryan, James runs vast distances in gruelling events like the 60km Kepler Challenge. He also likes the more sedate activity of building and sailing model wooden ships. At the time of writing this bio, he was working on a metre-long Spanish galleon.
