"Brian is uniquely gifted with a technical business vision. His ability to understand chaotic business requirements and distill them into concrete value propositions for clients is matched only by his ability to share his knowledge with his colleagues in a way that makes the entire team stronger."

"Brian has shown a high degree of proficiency in numerous programming languages, databases, and platforms. In addition, he is an excellent communicator and has the skills and personality needed to be a leader."

"Brian has a consistent, superior output. He can jump into any project (including frontend) and get the work done. He is able to juggle a lot of tasks and sudden troubleshooting needs. He works very well independently: I can delegate responsibilities to him and then rely on his judgment to either deliver or raise red flags when appropriate."
