I look forward to the opportunity to work with Brian again in future engagements!", "Brian and I first worked together as co-developers, he as a front-end native app developer and me as a back-end API developer (our API supports both web and native client applications). He was great communicator and an equally great collaborator, being able to advocate for the needs of the native apps without ever losing sight of the big picture (e.g. the needs of the web apps). Working together we were able to deliver a lot of great features that improved our application. As he transitioned to a leadership role, he brought that big-picture mindset with him, and continued to foster the collaboration between front-end & back-end developers. I appreciate his passion for doing the right things the right way. I would really enjoy an opportunity to work with Brian again!", and "Brian is an amazing Director of Engineering and software engineer. He took great care in making me feel both comfortable and confident to code my best work everyday. Brian’s guidance and experience is an amazing asset to any project. It has been a pleasure to work with and for Brian, and I highly recommend him for any team. I hope and would love to work with him again in the future."
