Hello!
My name is Brian Hook and I am a software engineer in the Chicagoland area.
I recently completed Thinkful's Engineering Coding Bootcamp and am using my previous 6+ years of SEO and Web Development experience to springboard into a full-time software engineering career!

More About Myself
Coding Passion / Teamwork
I became interested in coding when I saw how complex problems could be solved with simple solutions. While I sometimes enjoy the challenge of relying on myself to work through road-blocks, I would rather collaborate with others to share knowledge and new perspectives that help everyone involved succeed.
Services Offered
List of services I can provide a client:
- Web Development
- Front-end Engineering
- Software Design
- Search Engine Optimization
Hobbies
I also have many interests outside of coding, including:
- wildlife photography
- music / recording
- hanging out with my free-range rabbits
Fun Fact
I grew up in a town an hour north of Chicago and still reside in the nearby vibrant yet sadly vibranium-less, Wauconda(forever), IL.
