Bio
Carl Camera
Brian and I worked side-by-side two continents apart at Demand Media. Brian was always eager to accept assignments and tackled difficult web development assignments expertly. He has an excellent understanding of browser interactions, Javascript and jQuery languages, and cross-browser compatibility. In addition, Brian was a friendly, helpful, and productive front-end developer who was respected and admired by the entire eHow International team. He was a pleasure to work with and I recommend Brian to any company who is looking for a top-notch front-end developer.

Oct 1995 - Apr 2000
At BAE Systems I learned the qualities and skills of a Software Engineer. The four year training scheme involved spending time in different departments throughout the company, exposing the new engineers to the various stages of software development e.g. gathering requirements, design, testing and implementation. The company financed my university fees, to gain a Bachelor of Science degree in Computing Studies (by attending part-time in conjunction with work).
