Hi! I'm Brian. I've been developing software for over ten years. I own a company that writes code. I like helping people on their problems on CodeMentor, since almost all my time is spent on management otherwise.

Hello! My name is Brian Stinar, and I have been programming for over ten years. I'm based in Albuquerque, New Mexico, but travel a lot.

A ton of my time is now spent in Jira doing project (task) management. I can usually un-mess up a project, eventually.

Went really well, he helped me figure out my exact problem and stayed on later than initially planned to wrap up.

Really appreciate Brian! He's a great instructor, collaborative and patient. It was fun troubleshooting the challenges I had with him. If I ever come across something again, I'd be happy to have him as a mentor again.

Brian was a tremendous help with my WordPress site challenge. His expertise and unique perspective got me thinking differently about the problem. From the start, he genuinely cared about understanding my concerns. Instead of offering generic solutions, he encouraged me to consider new approaches. Brian patiently guided me, explaining everything clearly. Thanks to him, I not only solved the initial problem but also gained confidence in managing my site. I highly recommend Brian for anyone needing WordPress assistance or anything technical. He's professional, knowledgeable, and truly supportive.

Brian helped me get a second opinion on the work being done for my web app. The session with him was exactly what I needed to make sure that my project was going on the right track. He helped me uncover some items which I hadn't considered til date and I'm certain that our app will turn out better than planned thanks to his insights.

Presently, my company is working contracts with a variety of customers. Noventum consists of myself, two other programmers, an intern and a designer. If you want to hire a software team, talk with me. We're also working on developing software products, but it takes MUCH longer to get paid from a fully developed product than it does from contracting.
