Bio
Chris Wicks
Brian excelled at test planning and executing manual acceptance and regression tests. I trusted Brian and knew he put in 110% of everything that was asked of him and more which led me to appoint him early on to lead our manual testing effort for www.swtor.com. During our time at BioWare, Brian was the tester that the Developers wanted to test their changes. He would be able to find the edge cases that normally wouldn't appear until production because a customer's out of the norm user behavior would expose. He's a solid hire that your company will benefit from.

Brian is a dedicated, self-propelled individual, with a high propensity and understanding of what it takes to start and finish a product. He is always focused and ready to get down into the dirty work. He is a very fun and refreshing individual to work with. I sincerely hope that our future endeavors will bring us together again one day, as developers.
