Colleagues describe him as "On our team, Brian was the person to talk to when you were stuck on something and nobody else could figure it out. Not just software engineers either - he would field questions from our top data analyst and provide valuable insights to our top network engineer. As a software engineer, Brian is able to detect and understand potential pitfalls in solutions when the solutions are proposed, where many others would likely not realize the existence of these pitfalls until many hours of work have been put towards building out the system. This makes him an incredibly valuable engineer because he rarely implements solutions that do not work as intended on the first attempt. A by-product of this is that he is able to work very quickly, making him an incredibly valuable asset to any team. While Brian’s intellect and problem solving abilities are certainly strengths, he also brings a quick witted sense of humor to work that keeps people laughing and enjoying the work day. Additionally, he showed incredible patience in mentoring me and was always willing to answer any questions I had, even if I had to ask the same question several times. Under Brian, I grew exponentially as a software engineer. I feel very fortunate to have worked so closely with him and would welcome the opportunity to work with him again in the future.", "Brian is one of the most intelligent, analytical, dedicated and driven people I've worked with. I'm constantly impressed with his ability to grasp, define, design and build complex systems involving webs of intertwined software and services. His high-level conceptual systems knowledge is matched by his proficiency in writing elegant, trusted code. Brian constantly thinks long-term. When everyone else around him is trying to solve the problem at hand, he's also thinking about the potential problems in the future. His solutions are always well thought out, especially given the extremely fast paced environment which we work. His background in data analytics make him well adept to design database schemas to not only meet the requirements of the software at hand, but also the reporting requirements our analysts may need in the future. Brian works extremely well in our small team environment. He's extremely communicative, and seeks clarity at all times. This is one of Brian's greatest strengths. Another skill of Brian's worth mentioning is his root-cause analysis. The breadth of his knowledge is apparent from when he's attempting to debug a program. He knows how to utilize tools to their potential, notably Visual Studio and postman. In summary, I would recommend Brian as a Software Engineer to any company seeking a highly self-motivated, passionate, intelligent, driven developer. I'm fortunate to work along side him and draw from plethora of wisdom and experience.", and "Brian is one of the smartest and most resourceful Business Analysts I have worked with. I had the pleasure of working with Brian for 3 years during which time I was the CFO for Sonobello. I recruited Brian into the organization having worked with him before at a previous business. It proved to be a great fit for Brian and the company. Due to the hyper-growth being experienced in sales, it was critically important to be able to automate processes and work in a very fluid and ambiguous environment. Brian achieved great results that impacted the bottom line in areas as diverse as implementing dashboards in the call center to improve productivity, producing executive management reporting tools to improve decision time, installing new accounting software to automate manual processes and speed up month end close. Brian has a deep intellect for solving business challenges, he is proactive and manages dependencies very well. The bottom line is that we would not have scaled the business and delivered the profitable results we did, without the infrastructure and process built by Brian. Brian has my highest recommendation and I would work with him again at the earliest opportunity."
