Bio
Alexandra Stricklin
I’m lucky to have worked alongside Brian during the intensive Michigan State University Coding Course for three group projects. Brian immediately stepped up as a leader to organize and give the group direction, ensuring a successfully completed project each time. Additionally, Brian was able to debug the applications anytime there were issues, due to his high knowledge of back-end technologies. As knowledgeable as he was, he was also patient in explaining concepts to group members who needed extra help. I would highly recommend Brian to any employer, he would be a great asset to any team.

I'd been a fan of Brian's work long before I hired him to work with me on a complex project for a statewide nonprofit organization. Brian is a pleasure to work with— one can trust that he brings the full experiences of his interdisciplinary talents to the table as a creative problem-solver and experienced collaborator. I highly recommend him!
