Background Information

Brent spent several years working on J2EE projects doing mostly server-side development for large clients in the financial sector. After leaving the enterprise world for a mobile startup, a coworker turned him on to Ruby on Rails. With this newfound interest, Brent went on to co-found and develop Yappd, a microblogging social network built on Rails. He has since continued to hone his Rails skills, concentrating on social content and collaboration. As a Senior Engineer, Brent employs agile methodologies whenever possible and strives to produce simple and effective solutions.
