    I met Brennan at Mount Royal University, and worked alongside him as an executive of The Write Club. Throughout the time that I've known him, Brennan has proven himself to be a driven, caring, highly competent individual. He has consistently demonstrated creativity, problem solving skills, and an aptitude for expansion and growth. Brennan has also fostered an amazing environment for myself and our university peers, constantly striving to help his friends to the best of his ability. I believe Brennan would be an incredible asset to any potential employer.

    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!

    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.

    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!

    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.

    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!

    Strong, community orientated leader who I have had the pleasure of working with. Acting as the Founding President of Mount Royal University’s Creative Writing Club, Kenneth has fostered a strong community where individuals invested in professional and emotional relationships. His ability as a leader has enabled others to grow, and his conscientiousness is an asset in making hard decisions. In terms of specific skills, being an English Honours student alongside Kenneth affirms that he is skillful in editing, proofreading, critical analysis, and he has a keen attention to detail that makes him reliable in any project format. Kenneth’s knack for managing websites also proves that he has skills outside of his degree and he is a proficient article writer on Medium, striking cold facts and personal truth that adds to the depth of his writing ability. Thoughtful, sharp, and adaptable.
