"James Hickman with [Rational Boxes] is the most talented software engineer and overall innovative problem solver we have ever worked with. He goes beyond conventional software engineering to invent new custom solutions that helped us build our own Green Building Integrative Management platform in record time, and with a restricted budget. He responded to client demands quickly, and was always able to meet their requests. His overall positive proactive attitude makes him a pleasure to work with, and a rare commodity for any team!"
