Bio
Astrid Arismendi
I supported Brian with web graphics and design solutions to develop and maintain Duty-Free’s website back in 2015. He’s bright, intuitive, and highly knowledgeable in his practice. Brian’s exceptional software engineer skills are enhanced by his excellent teamwork competencies and his ability to facilitate cross-functional collaboration and communication. I learned so much from him while working together, and this knowledge is still relevant today.
