I want to help solve your problems so you can focus on innovation.

ABOUT ME

Hello! Brandon here. I am a web developer with a background that is both technical and creative. I am passionate about story-telling and crafting the best user experience.

I believe technology is the key to solving many of the world's problems, both big and small, so there is no challenge I won't take on.

I am also a poet and writer by trade, I have always loved language. I even wrote a book! When I'm not coding, you can find me performing at local shows, or puzzling my way out of an escape room.

I believe every project is better when working with a team so let's create something together!

PROJECTS

<BLOG THEME WORKSHOP DEMO/>

Managing and Rendering Data Made Simple.

I built a simulation of an admin backend for searching and sorting different blog themes, like one might find in a CMS system. Used the MERN stack to store and update data, and dynamically render content based off of user specifications.

<Adeira Pharma/>

Personal and professional.

I designed and built a custom site for a Adeira Pharma. I had complete decision-making control over the UI/UX as well as the structure of the site itself. I focused on creating a site that was simple, yet sleek, and encouraged immediate action.

<Tracking Covid-19 in the US/>

Stay Informed, Stay Safe.

I don't need to tell you, but it is a scary and uncertain time. I created this map and graph web app to track daily and cumulative cases of coronavirus in the United States. Visualizing data can make it easier to digest and follow, especially when it is difficult to find reliable sources.

It's Never Too Late to be an Astronaut.

On a team of two, I designed and built a slice of the universe that is fully traversable. Users can orbit Earth and discover asteroids with the help of NASA API data. You might discover some dangerous asteroids but fear not, what could go wrong!

<Tinderbox Poetry Journal/>

The Future Is Built First In Words.

I redesigned Tinderbox Poetry Journal's website, making it more modern and mobile-friendly. I continue to maintain the code because I believe in the journal's mission of lifting up underrepresented voices.
