Brian Carrigan

I currently work full time as a freelance professional, helping clients build robust and scalable web and hardware solutions. I love the diversity of being able to work with a wide range of folks, from those who are in the beginning stages of creating a proof of concept through big corporations. My plan is to stay as an individual consultant to provide high-quality, low overhead services while leveraging a network of other freelancers to make sure all of the skills are available to complete a project.

At Smashing Boxes, I worked alongside an integrated product team to build phone and web apps for clients. My role was primarily as a lead backend developer on projects, but also included creating frontends and admin applications where needed. During my time tehre, my role shifted to include adding hardware capabilities to our portfolio and being involved in archetecture and estimations.

I worked as one of the first engineers on Cree's SmartCast smart lighting platform. During my time there, I helped to build and perfect the SmartCast commissioning tool. I am listed as an inventor on 5 patents forthe work performed with this team.
