What Our Clients Say

Jamie DobbsHead of IT

After being highly recommended to us by another developer who commended him for his .Net abilities when we were looking to build a web API, we contacted David to discuss our challenge and the time constraints we were up against. David was kind enough to schedule our work around other commitments and ultimately deliver the solution in the timeframe needed to support us and our customers.

After discussing the requirements of the API over a call and David reading through the API specification, he became an extension of our team, it wasn’t just a case of doing his bit, he maintained communication at all times, provided support and offered suggestions.

David recommended, designed, built and implemented everything as well as provide the API documentation. Since the initial project was completed, David has supported further development / functionality of the API.

I would highly recommend David/DCSE Limited to anyone and have no doubt he will continue to support TMT First.

Matt CurtisSoftware Delivery Manager, Microtest Health

We employed DCSE Limited's services for a new project that required our own internal software teams to learn and implement new technologies and adapt how we approached the development of the product. David Clayton was our main resource and it’s fair to say that he hit the ground running, quickly fitting into the team and provide first-rate guidance not only to his direct team but to the organisation as a whole.

David stood out as an exceptional mentor, team lead and technical expert during the time we worked together at Microtest. I would absolutely recommend him to anyone seeking a professional, highly skilled software engineer with experience of leading and mentoring teams

Mike LillymanBusiness Analyst, Landmark Information Group

David Clayton proved himself a great addition to our development team working on a long established service that I managed.

David was very quickly working as one of two external developers, requiring only a minimum of supervision, delivering a pipeline of new functionality whilst also providing ongoing support. His work was of a very high standard, with a minimum of issues and he quickly established strong working relationships within both the immediate team and the wider department.

David fitted into our team very easily and he contributed new ideas when needed or followed existing guidelines when required. David made a number of significant contributions to the service, based on his technical expertise, and this helped us consolidate previous technical approaches within the platform to a single modern technical approach. David also made significant design contributions to functional enhancements that were very well received by the service users.

I would be extremely happy to recommend both David’s technical and design skills without hesitation.
