Feedback
"Brendan worked for us on two high-impact social media websites. He was able to
learn our web framework, concepts, and team dynamics very quickly. He definitely
proved to us that he has a lot of potential to become a great developer based o
n his understanding of core concepts and willingness to learn and adapt. In addi
tion to development, he moved beyond his original role and helped us on our desi
gns and front-end. Finally, and perhaps most importantly, he proved to be a very
loyal and trustworthy individual, especially given that he was working remotely
."

"Brendan has an excellent work ethic, and during the summer of 2008 he worked on
several projects for Deskcube. The highlight of the summer was when he worked o
n his birthday without us asking him to do so. He is proficient with Jquery, and
he is capable of doing anything from back end development to front end design.
I would highly recommend his work, and please feel free to contact me if you hav
e any further questions (benobear@gmail.com)"

“During the time that I worked with Brendan, I was impressed by both his willingness
and ability to learn quickly. Very much the self-starter, not only did Brendan
perform what was requested of him; often he anticipated needs as well. In additi
on to Brendan’s work being of the highest caliber, I cannot say enough about what a
pleasure it was to work with him. Brendan’s enthusiasm, friendly demeanor and his gr
eat sense of humor made a summer that could have been an extremely stressful si
tuation a pleasure to be involved in “
