Summary

Hi there!

My name is Brett Cooke, and if you need some frontend help, I'm your man! I'm an experienced full-stack web developer with over six years of professional experience. I've worked for five different tech companies:

  1. Everest Poker - Built online poker UIs in Flash/ActionScript (Gaming/Gambling)
  2. Punchey - Made payment and marketing SaaS software with Django/Python (Payments/Marketing)
  3. Nanigans - building UIs for displaying complex big data (Ad Tech)
  4. Envoy - Worked on Vizio.com and Billabong using React/Redux/Webpack/Gulp/ES2015 (Agency)
  5. Tri Alpha Energy - Helped architect a database for solving world energy problems (Nuclear Fusion Tech)

In addition to all that, I've had many freelance jobs and helped quite a few friends with their technical issues. I've also tried and failed with my own startups. But each failure has taught me things about business and programming. So regardless of your situation, chances are that I can help you write code in some way. I'm open-minded, and I try to always match my solution to the user or customer's goals. I'm a perfectionist so I will not leave you until you are satisfied with the solution.

Just to round it out:

  • I have my degree in computer science from UMass.
  • I've built dozens of WordPress sites and themes.
  • I've built cross-platform apps with Cordova and Appcelerator.
  • Lately, I've been spending all my time in JavaScript/Front-End land while mastering React/Redux.

I look forward to helping you follow your dreams!

All the best,
Brett Aaron Cooke
