My goal with the site is to be a place where people can find me professionally and personally.
Some inspirations for the design so far are:
Professionally I have worked for nearly three years as a full-stack software developer
I played with programs ever since I was young but I started writing meaningful software in college around 2019 when I
switched majors from physics to computer science. From there grew a love of software development.
I graduated into a difficult market for new hires in 2023 but managed to hold on to a local startup for nearly two
years until the company experienced growing pains resulting in an untenable workload and personal disagreements with the
leadership's direction.
I then took a crack at being a freelance contractor. I also did this for nearly two years until I discovered I was
not a good fit for independent work and several instances of dishonesty from a business partner broke our
relationship.
Going forward I would like more excuses to do mathematical or scientific work. If you have something like this for
me please feel free to reach out at jobs@braedonwatkins.dev!
