Brian is an excellent software engineer and a huge contributor to any team he is a part of. During his 14 years at GMR he performed extremely well working on a wide variety of high profile projects for Fortune 100 clients. Brian's work ethic is second to none, and he has a unique ability to communicate effectively and professionally with colleagues in any role: technical, non-technical, sales as well clients. He is also a quick learner, with the ability to pick up new concepts and tools in a fast-paced environment. In addition to his exemplary work as a developer, he is also the ultimate team player and contributed to a strong, fun work culture.

I’m honored to have had the opportunity to work with Brian for nearly 13 years and am happy to recommend him. Brian is a truly excellent developer with strong combination of technical & soft-skills that are exceedingly rare to find together. In addition to his exceptional development skills, he is a great communicator with a creative approach to problem solving. His work ethic is second-to-none and he’s a team player who adds immeasurably to the richness & culture of every group he joins. I’d strongly recommend Brian to any organization looking for a solutions-oriented developer who consistently delivers quality results.
