Technical Implementation

Brian helped us develop a dynamic web site for a major national client with a short timeline. He delivered great results and helped us work through several tricky issues. He stayed engaged with us even as the project scope changed. Brian was great to work with and we are definitely looking forward to working with him on the next project.

Brian is a proficient and highly skilled developer who always exceeded my expectations. I would recommend Brian on many levels beyond software development. He is also a visionary and a likeable leader. Brian is an excellent communicator that delivers results! I was fortunate to have the opportunity to work with Brian not only because of his quality work, but also his strong work ethic and kindness.

The St. Francis Society Animal Rescue has been looking for some time for an off-the-shelf software package that would help us better manage the animals coming into our care and the business side of our organization. We never found one, but in working with Agile Nomads, we have a backroom solution to our web site that will take us where we need to go as
a long-time member of the rescue community in Hillsborough County. It has added much needed efficiencies, allows us to respond more quickly to public inquiries and calls for help as well as puts us in a better position to take advantage of grantwriting opportunities. Many of our volunteers--those who are tech-savvy and those who are not--have quickly embraced the solution that helped us adopt 710 cats and dogs in 2008.

Brian is a highly skilled developer. Besides being proficient in current core technologies such as Java and XML, he keeps himself informed of new technologies and reusable frameworks. Brian can creatively see how these new products can be applied to projects to accelerate development. Brian is also very aggressive in problem determination. He is not satisfied with a simple quick fix, but ensures the problem is fixed correctly and completely. In addition to basic development tasks, Brian has been a significant contributor to product analysis and design as well as improving source code control, build processes, and automated testing procedures.

Brian is best at researching new technologies, organizing his research so he can find it back and duplicate steps involved, and determining how these technologies can be applied to current problems. He is good at integrating new technologies in a new beneficial way that no one else thought of, but is very useful.

Brian is well organized. He keeps close track of tasks to be completed as well as lessons he has learned during task completion and independent research. Brian is also a very dependable worker. He completes his assigned tasks on time with quality deliverables as well as performing additional, unscheduled work to improve these deliverables.

I was lucky to have a second opportunity to work with Brian at GCA. He is an outstanding leader who successfully designed, developed and implemented several revenue generating applications. He is a calm and patient mentor who can work in fast paced dynamic environments while meeting the goals a business sets.

I had the opportunity to work closely with Brian for 2 years during his employment at Cox Target Media. Brian mentored me and several other developers on several projects. He enjoys sharing his experience, knowledge and giving guidance on application design architecture. I am pleased to say that Brian is a team player, a kind and sincere individual, and an ideal mentor. Brian was always available for me in situations where deadlines on projects were difficult to meet. I was glad to have worked with him, since the higher-ups always praised the assignments that were completed on time.

I started my information technology career under the tutelage of Brian. Not only was he incredibly skilled in the J2EE technologies we were working with, but he was also an excellent teacher and communicator. As a team lead, he was incredibly organized, adaptive, and efficient. He was able to break down and organize complex user requirements into separate documented solutions that team members could proceed to implement in a timely manner. He also knew how to challenge, motivate, and encourage all of his team members to become better developers. I owe much of my current success as a developer to the skills and work ethic that I learned while working closely with Brian. Although we no longer work directly together, we still remain in contact and I appreciate his advice related to the multitude of technological challenges I pose to him. Brian is an excellent analytical problem solver and, along with the technological knowledge he possesses, his leadership, resourcefulness, and determination will make him an invaluable asset to any organization.

From my experience he is best at figuring out how to do things and figuring out how to tackle problems in an organized systematic fashion. He's also best at researching to find out the best solution to a problem at hand. He objectively looks at the problem at hand and does a lot of systematic research and then puts it all together to come up with a solution and then acts upon it.

I've worked closely with Brian for nearly two years now and I can truly say that his innovation, problem solving skills, and strong technical expertise have been crucial in the success of our application design and development.

Brian is a self-motivated and very competent designer and developer. His work with IMM Inc. is with our high-profile client Miley Cyrus, designing, testing, implementing and supporting Miley's official online presence including her proprietary social network "MileyWorld".

Brian conducts himself professionally and efficiently and also has excellent communication and innovation skills. I have no hesitation in recommending him for any project.

I found Brian to be an extremely dedicated and hard-working co-worker. He was always available to share his extensive knowledge of software development. He has particular expertise, among many, in configuring project builds (e.g. Maven, CheckStyle, PMD, etc). Although I worked in a different group, I understand that Brian was the chief designer of the XML and Spring-based B2B project. This was a rather large project that took several months to complete. Brian assiduously brought the project to completion, eliminating defects (which were few) and optimizing performance.
