Glynis Tart came to me seeking a simple, 4-5 page website for her small business. She wanted a clean,
simple design that looked both modern, and communicated that her business was environmentally-friendly.
Over a 3 week period I designed and developer her website. I also helped her migrate to a new web host.

PROGRAMMER - DESKCUBE INC SAN FRANCISCO, CA 2008

Working with two other Cornell graduates, I developed a video website with social networking features. My
responsibilities included creating automated spiders to scrape video archives, and retrieve MP3, FLA, AVI
and MPG files, along with meta information. Using my code they were able to scrape over 50,000 videos
and add them to our database. I was also in control of user interface design. I made use of the MVC
architecture, and AJAX using the jQuery Framework.

Over the summer of 2008 I worked in conjunction with the Director of Technology at Mount St. Charles
Academy, Brenda Hammerschmidt, to teach two summer courses on Web Design and Development. The
courses ran for two weeks each, and taught the basics of Web Design. The topics included XHTML, CSS,
and basic theories of design.

PROGRAMMER - SURFTHECHANNEL.COM BOSTON, MA 2007-2008

SurfTheChannel.com is one of the top 500 website in the entire world, as rated by alexa.com. I
programmed the entire backend of SurfTheChannel, managed 6 servers distributed throughout Europe,
along with 2 database servers in Sweden. I also worked with a 4GB database of users and links, and
migrated it to a new structure two times. My job there also encompassed breaking the obfuscation schemes
of video hosting sites like youtube in order to get direct FLV links. I was the first person in the world to break
the obfuscation schemes of megavideo.com and 56.com (the top video site in China). When I left
SurfTheChannel we had 250k users registered, 1 million live video links, and over 31 million unique visits a
month.

PROGRAMMER - CARBON OFFSET REVIEW READING, OHIO 2007

CarbonOffsetReview is a website dedicated to the sale and review of carbon offsets. My job was to develop
a backend to manage the sale of these carbon offsets, along with the moderation of sellers.

My job with NDEC was to develop a website to inform the public of the works of the Sisters of Mercy. They
run a nature program for children that raises awareness of the fragility of our ecosystem.

OWNER - DEAL IT IN/ CONTRACTOR - DODTRACKER SAN DIEGO, CA 2006-2007

Deal It In was a company I launched in 2006 that aggregates “deal of the day” websites (sites that sell one
item a day at a very discounted price). I programmed an engine that spidered about 75 different websitesʼ
products for the day. In early 2007 I was approached by competitor in California who was interested in
purchasing my technology. By February I had sold Deal It In, and I was hired to work for DODTracker as a
back-end programmer.

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."

"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 ([email protected])"

"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."

“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 addition to Brendanʼs work being of the highest caliber, I cannot say enough
about what a pleasure it was to work with him. Brendanʼs enthusiasm, friendly demeanor and his great
sense of humor made a summer that could have been an extremely stressful situation a pleasure to be
involved in “
