Hey, Im Brayden.
Pretty much all I do is code.
About Me
I started out building little Flash games at thirteen and never looked back. What began as curiosity turned into a habit of turning ideas into tools, products, and playful experiments.
I care deeply about clear systems, thoughtful UX, and code that ages and scales well. I keep a steady cadence of learning new stacks when they help, and always try and keep up with the latest and greatest in the tech space.
