Brennan is an absolute joy to work with. He’s extremely knowledgeable and able to apply his expertise with data to any project. Not only does his technical expertise shine through, but he also brings creative ideas to his projects. Glad that I was able to share a cohort!

Candice Tate, 2021 VA of the Year | September 4th, 2022

Brennan was a fun and instructive member of the InceptionU cohort, I feel lucky to have worked with him and gained from his skills as a full stack developer. I can without hesitation recommend him for any full stack, front end or back end role. Any software company would be fortunate to have him join their team.

Andrew Bizon, P. Eng. | September 21st, 2020

Brennan acquired a wealth of new knowledge and skills through the program at InceptionU and successfully presented his front end learning project that included JavaScript, React.js and some backend integrations. I wish Brennan all the best in his technology journey, and I am confident in his success!

Roman Mirakhmedov, Principle Solutions Architect at AWS | August 6th, 2020

As the Tech Lead for the InceptionU Full Stack Development Program for the 4th Cohort, I would like to congratulate Brennan on completing the Front-End curriculum at InceptionU. This included JavaScript (Syntax, Logic, Events, DOM, Data Structures, Arrays, Objects/Dictionaries, Linked Lists, State Management, etc.). I wish him the best in the technical community.

Larry Shumlich | August 6th, 2020

I had the pleasure of teaching Brennan in the OnRamp Growth Marketing Bootcamp this year. Brennan is a creative, curious and resourceful problem-solver. During OnRamp, he demonstrated strengths in content development & copywriting (blog, sales sheet), campaign design and marketing fundamentals. He always asked really great, thoughtful questions, contributed new ideas and supported his fellow cohort participants when they needed help. Plus his technical coding aptitude gave him a leg-up when tackling the more technical side of marketing tools. He was a pleasure to work with!
