"Brandon is an incredible manager who always supported me, provided a space to share what is on my mind, and has been a great mentor."

"I never had to worry about misplaced or missing pixels. Instead our conversations focused on taking the user experience to the next level."

"Brandon is great at planning modular, reusable components - building things that can be self-serve vs bespoke solutions."

"He is a prime example of a team player. I often hear, 'Brandon helped me with that.' I appreciate the positive energy."

About Brandon

"I've learned that people will forget what you said, people will forget what you did, but people will never forget how you made them feel." - Maya Angelou

  • Let's document things! Documentation benefits everyone.
  • I operate in a judgement-free zone.
  • The phrase "intent vs impact" is of high importance to me.
  • I prefer a direct approach, but I understand that others might prefer different approaches.

About this website

I frequently re-build my portfolio in order to learn new techniques. It currently passes through Cloudflare, measured by Clarity, and is built with Webflow (hear me out). It previously used Next.js (React), integrated with Sanity CMS, and was hosted on Vercel.

  • I've built this site using Nuxt (Vue), Squido, Middleman, Next.js (React), Svelte, Riot.js, Angular, Polymer project, and Meteor.
  • I've integrated with dozens of different CMS like Sanity, Storyblok, Netlify CMS, Wordpress, Ghost, Kirby, Sanity, Forestry, Prismic, Contentful, Strapi, and Dato.
  • I have experience with CSS frameworks like Tailwind, Chakra, Bootstrap, Material, Bulma, and others.
  • The site has been hosted on GitLab and GitHub Pages, Vercel, Netlify, Firebase, Bitbucket, VPS, and home-grown server hardware using Docker, TurnKey Core Linux, or Vagrant.
  • My preferred automation and monitoring platforms are Cypress.io, RequestMetrics, Hubspot, BrowserStack, and AHRefs.
