My name is Brian Bankes. I hold a Masters of Science in Computer Science and a Bachelors of Science in Mathematics. I am a software programmer with prior experience designing Windows applications for small companies. I have also learned web programming via online courses and I have used that knowledge to create this website. I am a U.S. citizen.
Right now, the site's main purpose is to help me find a job. Specifically, this web site is designed to help me advertise myself as a computer programmer. To that end, the answers on the rest of this page concern programming jobs. If you like what you see, please find a description of the above-referenced Windows applications as part of my resume, which you can find via the menu accessible to the upper right of this website or by clicking on the button to the bottom of this website. You can also read more about my recent project, the BU Weather Viewer, by clicking here. If you do so, thank you for your time and consideration.
I have previously worked from home as an independent contractor, but would also be open to full or part time employment. I will be happy to work for companies or individuals under any of those arrangements. However all of my employment travel must currently be limited, as described below.
Because I am unable to relocate, my employment travel must, for the most part, be restricted to Northeastern Pa. To overcome this limitation, I have worked from home during my prior projects. I may be able to make occasional longer trips with advanced planning.
If I were to work on an hourly rate, my hourly fee would be $25. For a salaried position, I will accept what the job market currently will bear.
This website contains my resume and several web-based applications written in Javascript.
Currently, all the applications on this website make use of the local storage maintained by your internet browser. That means that any data stored vis the applications is only accessible through the browser that saved them.
Hopefully, any modern browser can successfully view this website. However, this website uses jQuery as well as some HTML and CSS features which cannot be viewed correctly on versions of internet Explorer older than version 9. Additionally, some pages on this website will redirect any user using any version of Internet Explorer to a notification page. This is because no version of Internet Explorer will support some of the Javascript applications. If you encounter any other issues, please let me know.
I am a sports fan who was primarily follows professional football, curling and auto racing. I am also a fan of Sci-Fi television.
