About Me

My name is Brian Zimmerman and I'm a Chicago-based web developer.
I enjoy making good looking sites that are clean and easy to maintain and just like grandma's cookies, the secret ingredient in all of my sites is love.

I moved to Chicago in the fall of 2016. I'm orginally from Maryland and graduated from The University of Maryland. In my free time, I like to play drums, read, learn something new, and take pictures.

Highland Ventures LTD owns/partners with several companies, such as Family Video, Marco's Pizza, StayFit24, Total Wireless, and several others. My job was to make other people's jobs easier through coding. I made scripts that populated financial reports, a real-time phone monitor for the pizza stores, a site to keep track off all the companies' bills, the POS system for StayFit24, and much more.

IT Support JIFSAN
The Joint Institute for Food Safety and Applied Nutrition (JIFSAN) is a partnership between the FDA and The University of Maryland. JIFSAN's goal is to make food as safe as possible through chemical and statistical analysis. While at JIFSAN, I worked on projects help people understand what JIFSAN is about. I made a blog site where JIFSAN's researchers could explain what they were doing and why it's important and readers could comment and ask questions. I made a site for people to sign up for classes that were taught at JIFSAN and students could select add-ons if they wanted, like a rental laptop. I also worked on tools for different food agencies. For example, I made a tool that would parse ingredient labels, and create a database for the USDA.
