Bio
Jenni Barker
Bryn is an exceptionally gifted software developer. He is a proficient Python and PHP programmer and has proven experience in Web2 development techniques. His versatile mindset means he is able to pick up other languages and technologies with ease. And he is a trusted team player able to deliver on tasks that others shy from. Bryn is a quiet, intellectual character with a keen wit and is easy to be around. Quite simply, Bryn is a very clever guy and I would recommend him for any software development project that requires keen thinking and innovation.
Neil Blakey-Milner
Bryn and I have worked together twice - on the KnowledgeTree open source document management system and at CareerJunction - and both times have been thoroughly enjoyable for two reasons. Firstly, he's just a fun person to be around, and he gets on well with everyone. Secondly, he delivers results quickly and accurately - whether it's code or in the specification or design portion of the development lifecycle. Bryn is a great custodian of the end user's interests, and his ability to write front-end Javascript together with back-end Python and PHP is an invaluable bridge between the user interface and the main development focus.
