The Journey Here

Why web design? I am motivated to switch careers into a profession I find meaningful & impactful each day. The goal for me as a designer/ developer is to make your online presence memorable and visually stunning.

While bringing soft skills to the mix such as project management, attention to detail and collaboration, I enjoy the challenge of finding working solutions to complex problems.

Educating myself with Udemy, LinkedIn Learning & Treehouse since 2017 has been a stimulating experience I will never forget, allowing me to take on clients and learn key technical skills. The dream I have is finally becoming a reality!

In my free time I enjoy spending time with my wife, drawing, dancing, and volunteering my time in bible education.

Brian is a dedicated developer committed to not just writing programs that work, but focused on best practices, readability and expanding Brian’s knowledge base. Coupled with a strong drive to sharing what he has learned with others in the community, is what made him an easy choice for his role as a Slack Champion. I can strongly recommend Brian as an asset to any development team.

I interview many developers in my role as senior developer and among the qualities I look for in a candidate are talent, disposition and communication skills. Equally important to these is a desire to learn and grow. Brian has all of these attributes in spades. He is an excellent up and coming web developer who would be an asset to any company.
