My work experience
Kind words from coworkers
Brian and I worked on the same team at Codesmith. I can say without reservation that Brian is one of the most brilliant engineers I have ever worked with. His ease and confidence in solving complex problems or adopting new technologies really stands out even in a talented group. Brian does not shy away from new challenges, nor does he let setbacks slow him down. Brian was also very involved in mentoring junior developers. He has a way of explaining impenetrable or intimidating concepts in very understandable ways and making them feel approachable. He will always bring added value to any team he is on. He is an indispensable part of our team and I would work with him again in a heartbeat.

My Software Development Approach
Planning & Design
During this stage we're gathering requirements, defining objectives, and designing the architecture or blueprint of the software. This phase ensures clarity in what needs to be built and how.
Development & Testing
This is the second stage and focuses on writing the code to create the software and rigorously testing it for bugs, functionality, and performance. The goal is to ensure the product is robust and meets specifications.
Deployment & Maintenance
The last of the three phases, and in here software is released to users, and any necessary updates, bug fixes, or improvements are made over time. This ensures the software remains functional and relevant.
