I'm Braydon, a creative frontend engineer.
Here's a quick intro about me and what I love to do
My programming origins
When Apple unveiled the first iPad with its beautiful 1024x768 display, I knew I had to create for it. I taught myself mobile development while freelancing, and soon I was shipping iOS and Android apps. One of my games even climbed above Angry Birds in the charts for a while—which still makes me smile when I think about it.
Finding My Way to Web
Despite my love for mobile development, the web kept calling my name. With my eye for design, frontend felt like the perfect playground. I dove into HTML, CSS, and JavaScript—with React in 2016 becoming my game-changer. A few months later and I had landed my first full-time web dev role and never looked back.
Life Beyond Code
When I met PeggyJean, I knew pretty quickly she was the one. After proposing, we had grand wedding plans – until COVID happened. We pivoted (developer joke!) and had a small, intimate ceremony in 2020 that turned out more perfect than we could have imagined.
Family has always been my center, and seeing ours grow has been life's greatest joy. Our daughter ElizaJane arrived in 2021, bringing endless wonder to our days, and little Renny joined our crew in 2023, completing our circle.
These Days
Currently, I'm leading teams at LogicGate as a Senior Frontend Engineer where we're building some pretty awesome stuff. Speaking at tech conferences has become a regular part of my year.
When I'm not working, you'll find me on creative coding side projects, writing for my blog, failing spectacularly at games with friends, or—best of all—hanging out with my family, usually with coffee nearby and dad jokes at the ready.
