  • BRYAN COCKERHAM — Lead Developer

    Bryan Cockerham has been working with the web for about a decade, specializing in database design and information management using open source software. Over the years, he's been involved in numerous research projects, including explorations of natural language recognition, clustering and parallel processing, and human-computer interfaces.

    Bryan has worked at We-Care.com since the idea was conceived in 2006, leading all of its technical architecture. Having grown up in a family where volunteering was a part of life, Bryan has found a home at We-Care.com, where his love of technology meets his passion for making a difference in the world.

    He has been living in NYC's Upper East Side since he graduated at the top of his class from the New York Institute of Technology with a degree in computer science. When not adding new features to We-Care.com, Bryan takes advantage of the city's museums, parks, and theaters (or simply spends quiet nights at home coding). Bryan is an avid runner, always looking for new ways to maintain a fit mind and body, and makes an excellent smoothie.
