I always found Brent to be passionate about his work, and know he would be a great contributor to any organisation.” August 23, 2011
Nigel McClelland, Software Architect, SunGard Treasury Systems managed Brent indirectly at SunGard
“Brent is an extremely talented software engineer. I project
managed the internationalisation of Quantum, Risk and eTreasury and Brent was
part of this hand-picked project team. Brent designed and prototyped a framework
to allow all three programs (each program written in different technologies) to
be internationalised with minimal change to the core of the programs. It was an
elegant, maintainable solution typical of Brent's ability.” August 3, 2010
Jackie Keys, Delivery Manager, SunGard managed Brent indirectly at SunGard
“I relied heavily on Brent in his capacity as source code
'gatekeeper' at SunGard. He was critical in getting numerous software releases
out the door and delivered without fail. Due to his exceptional abilities he was
constantly asked to assist in high profile and business critical projects. He
managed to juggle all of these projects in a calm and considered manner when
chaos could have ensued for someone of lesser abilities! Intelligent, reasoned,
trustworthy and innovative are the words that spring to mind when I think of my
work with Brent and I would have no hesitation recommending him.” August 3, 2010
James Dobson, Project Manager, SunGard Data Systems managed

first started at SunGard. He is very approachable and keen to share his vast and
detailed knowledge of software. He has a high attention to detail and is very
diligent to ensure his high quality coding skills make quality assurance an
easier task. As I move to other roles in SunGard I could always rely on Brent's
expertise on software release teams when controlling source code integrations. I
have no hesitation in recommending Brent to other roles.” August 4, 2010

Lee Porteous, Operations Manager, Northernarch Solutions Ltd
managed Brent indirectly at Northern Arch
“Brent is a highly skilled engineer with a great deal of
creativity.
During his contracts with us (his contract was renewed
several times) Brent worked on a variety of tools and utilities as well as
several application features. His results were always quickly produced and well
thought out.
Assignments completed:
Brent developed a "test farm" for coordinating the running of
hundreds of test scripts across multiple computers overnight. The result has
been outstanding and Brent thought of several ways to improve on the original
planned tool.
Brent also developed new installers and trace and debug tools
for our products.” May 9, 2011

Simon Meehan, hired Brent as a IT Consultant in 2010, and
hired Brent more than once
“I've worked alongside Brent Clark for several years and have
always been impressed with his abilities and the speed at which he solves
software problems. Brent is a confident communicator and an opinion leader. His
opinions are backed by his trial and fact finding sessions and so he's good at
helping a company decide which way to go when choices present themselves.
Brent solves the hard problems, and he is an enabler of
solutions sometimes thought too large to tackle, for example converting or
transforming millions of lines of code in a product into something better.
Brent learns new technologies quickly and can quickly
prototype a visualisation of a problem to be solved. I have no hesitation in
recommending Brent to a software development organisation of any size. They will
certainly receive good value for money.” May 15, 2011

SunGard AvantGard worked with Brent at SunGard
“First and foremost Brent is a really friendly pleasant
person to work with. He is a highly skilled technician with a very broad,
perceptive vision and has a unique ability to see solutions that others may not.
One key strength is his tool creation which adds huge value to any significant
initiatives. Another strength I appreciated was his ability to communicate his
vision and leverage his business awareness to identify the benefits of the
technical initiatives he proposed.” May 9, 2011
