Hi, I’m

Brendon!

Introduction

I’m a Front End and iOS developer who loves good design, good coffee, and good people. I work as a Front-End Development and iOS mentor for Thinkful, a web developer for IdeaBase, and a freelance iOS developer.

I love the web and all the awesome things that come out of it. I’m excited to live and work in a time of huge advances in web technology. It’s easier than ever to share and collaborate with others, all because of the Internet.

Education is also super important to me - I come from a family of educators - and I’m stoked to work with Thinkful’s awesome student community.

Where I’m From

I’m from the Midwest - Ohio, specifically - Cleveland, even more specifically. I love the spacious fields, the smell of the outdoors, and the people in Ohio. I bring a bit of the Midwest work ethic to all my projects - a craftsman’s approach to Doing Things Right the First Time.

I’m finishing my design degree at Kent State University, and will be graduating this winter with a focus in interaction design.

More About Me

I’m a huge gamer. I also LOVE food. I’m always trying new cuisine. Foodies unite!
What’s your dream job?
I’d love to open my own mobile game studio in the future!
What’s your background?
I’ve been programming since I was in middle school. I decided to go to school for design because I love front-end and felt like I needed more help with the design side than the programming side.
What music have you been listening to lately?
I’ve been listening to a ton of Ryn Weaver lately, ever since her first EP came out in late July.
