The following are excerpts from testimonials and references, from past employers as well as clients:

"Bryan was engaged in projects that varied from establishing a customer's presence on the web (suite of products and their integration), through true web-site development projects...

Bryan exhibited strong management, organizational, communication, and technical skills on all his projects...

As a technical lead, Bryan took on responsibilities for user interface design and code generation...The combination of Bryan's project management skills and his technical skills make Bryan a leader in the projects he has been assigned...

In conclusion, Bryan has demonstrated a broad spectrum of skills and an excellent work ethic."

Project Director, Burntsand Inc.

"...this application consisted of a CD-ROM based package to organize, visualize and distribute a complex dataset to our clients...The most important aspect of this project was the development of a Visual Basic-based toolkit to allow our staff to modify and customize the application..

Our program has very high standards for development work of this type as most of our products are distributed province wide both through the MNR and the general public. Mr. Nippers more than met our expectations...."

"...I can vouch for his integrity, problem solving abilities, and expertise in the field of computers. He works well with a minimum of supervision and is meticulours in his attention to detail."

"It has been my pleasure to work with Bryan Nippers while he managed the development and launch of www.blueasphalt.com, a sophisticated e-commerce website for U.S. clothing retailer Wetseal.

As an experienced e-commerce project manager, I am highly impressed with Bryan's accomplishments. Although he was placed at a disadvantage by being brought to the project after it had already begun, Bryan was able to deliver an effective, highly innovative e-commerce retail site on time in a mere three months. This is a suprising achievement when compared to the recent development of a less sophisticated e-commerce bookseller site which took eight months to complete, and cost six times as much."

Greg P.
Project Manager, ICE

"In the summer of 1996 we hired seven Multimedia programmers for a large-scale multimedia project which involved several large stores all with secure Internet banking and shopping. It quickly became clear that Bryan was the most knowledgeable programmer on the team. His experience in designing software, problem solving and his experience in coordinating and supervising people made him an invaluable member of the team. The personal commitment he made to the project combined with his skills resulted in him becoming the lead programmer and technical producer during the challenging final stages of production. The nearly twofold increase in Bryan's renumeration during the course of this project is just one indication of how we valued his involvement. It's fair to say that without Bryan this excellent project would not have been a success.."

"As BW Technologies continues its rapid growth, the demand for increased communication between our Quality and Product Development groups with our entire worldwide Sales network was evident. Using ASP.NET, this project was designed to accomplish three main objectives: to reduce the bottleneck at Quality during the receipt, investigation and issuance of Trouble Call Reports (TCR); to provide a means to conveniently communicate product and procedure issues with our outside sales force by providing them with an internet tool to easily access a list of their TCR’s, status updates on their TCR’s and give them the ability to search and understand issues with other sales managers and/or customers on related products; to provide a separate database within the project to keep an electronic record of product history concerning software, hardware, procedural and other issues.

A systematic flow with discussions held at the beginning and end of every defined stage was presented. The project was easy to launch, first as a beta version, to test for functionality and get feedback from our more frequent users. The final rollout was smooth as all files were documented and installation procedures were easy to understand. This has been a win-win project as our Sales Managers are very happy with the level of communication now available to them and I am pleased that this work was done within budget and was kept on schedule until final delivery. I look forward to working with Bryan again on other .NET, internet based projects."
