    • "I hired Brendan to create a website to capture the services and mission of my business. With some collaboration, I have an attractive website which I am sure will bring a lot of inquiries from prospective clients. Brendan was very easy to work with, the fees were very reasonable and the work was completed on time. I would highly recommend Brendan to anyone who needs website services."

  • Partners: Ben Obear & Phillip Nelson
  • Description: Deskcube Inc. is a small company located in San Francisco, California. There are an incubator company for business ideas. I am bound by an NDA to not disclose specific details about the project I worked on, however I can describe in gerneral what my function was.
  • Responsibilities:
    • Working with Deskcube Framework (PHP Framework similar to Zend or Cake PHP) , a social-networking framework that makes use of the MVC architecture.
    • Creating spiders to crawl large video archives.
      • By crawling RSS feeds or even archives, I was able to pull FLV links, MP3 recordings, and video meta information.
      • Creating playlist widgets to control video playback using the jQuery javascript framework.
      • Creating controls for user submitted content, with easy-of-use in mind.
  • Client 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 on his understanding of core concepts and willingness to learn and adapt. In addition to development, he moved beyond his original role and helped us on our designs 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."
      Phillip Nelson - December 7, 2008
    • "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 on 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 have any further questions (benobear@gmail.com)"
