Brent Raines Email & Phone Number

Brent Raines is a Member of Technical Staff at Blue Water Autonomy Inc.. He possess expertise in preventive maintenance, nuclear, reactor, troubleshooting, instrumentation and 45 more skills. Colleagues describe him as "I can't say enough good things about Brent. He's smart, independent, responsible, easy to collaborate with, works up and down the stack, has strong product/design sensibilities, wants to move the needle... and is just a great guy. We've worked together for almost four years, and I've seen Brent go from Startup Institute graduate to one of the best full-stack mobile engineers I've had the pleasure to work with. At the macro level -- two years ago, we pivoted our startup and Brent almost single-handedly piloted the ship from $0 to $1MM+ in revenue (which has enabled us to rebuild the company). At the micro level -- time and again, I've seen Brent advocate for smart, high-impact changes to the product (or the process we're running), take 80% designs and turn them into polished user experiences, or put out fires in a sensible way that allowed us to keep making progress. I feel incredibly lucky to have had Brent on the team -- from the turbulent early days, through a pivot, and out the other side to one of the fastest-growing consumer mobile companies in Boston -- and I'm excited to continue our work together.", "Brent is one of those rare "do-whatever-it-takes-never-surrender" talents, and a pleasure to work with whenI had the chance over about half a year while providing tech consulting support to his company. Despite having no formal training, he taught himself how to code full stack web applications and mobile apps, injected himself into the startup ecosystem, and continued to learn fast. When we began working together, I discovered he had inherited the entire spectrum of technical responsibiltiy for his organization, and had not only managed to keep the lights on, but also successfully deliver major new versions of the product. When we jointly planned our strategy for the next version of the app, he provided excellent guidance, and quickly adopted deep functional programming techniques while never skipping a beat on all his other dev-ops responsibilities. I like to muse that grit & curiosity are the two most important, and un-learnable, traits of a software engineer. Brent is squarely those personified, and I'm excited for his career (and perhaps getting the chance to work together again someday)", and "Brent is one of those developers who takes a design and not only meets the spec, but suggests ways to improve it. He's got a strong product and UX mind that makes him an incredibly valuable member of any early stage product team. He's quick to learn (he came up to speed on RubyMotion and Swift in my two years working with him), and he steps up to the plate when it's needed most. I can't recommend Brent enough!"
