Brent Arrington
Title: Software Engineer
With Hannon Hill since: 2009
Nickname: The Headband (It's a tennis thing. Trust me, if you were to see it in person, you would be intimidated.)
What I do, in 140 characters or less: Development of Cascade Server
What I like most about Hannon Hill: What's not to love? The free food, the pong battles, the bro-hugs. But seriously, while we have a lot of fun, we also have a company full of people who genuinely care about our product, our work environment and, most importantly, our clients. With most jobs, there are at least some days when coming to work is a bit of a drag, but in over two years of working at Hannon Hill, I've yet to have one of those days.
Programming languages: Java, PHP, .NET, HTML, XSLT, Apache Velocity, JavaScript, SQL, etc.
Something people don't know about me: I drove a campus bus in college & forced my passengers to sing karaoke to entertain me while I drove. Also, if the occasion arose, I am pretty confident that I could still parallel park a bus. Oh yes, I am that good a parallel parker.
Prior positions held at HH: Sales Engineer, Services Developer and Services Trainer
Favorite book: On with the Story - by John Barth
Musical talents: The ability to recognize that I have none
What others say about Brent:
"Brent and I have a long history of working together. He is an awesome programmer and a creative problem solver. In addition, he is one of the funniest people you'll ever meet, grill meister extraordinary and karaoke master of ceremonies." - Kat Liendgens
" I am pretty sure that Brent has never lost a tennis match, at least he only talks about the matches that he wins. He is probably the nicest guy that has ever worked for the Georgia State Penitentiary system." - Blaine Herman
"I would describe Brent as the superhero of the office. Always helping out where he is needed. His understanding of Cascade Server user needs and best practices makes him a valued asset throughout Hannon Hill. If we could clone one person in the office, I guarantee that he would be at the top of everyone's list." - Penny Harding
