About

10 years building full stack products, from storefronts to clinic tools.

I’m Brenden, a senior full stack engineer based in Boston. For the last decade I’ve shipped e-commerce platforms, healthcare portals, and open-source product features — including search, analytics, and LLM-powered chat.

Recent work includes an e-commerce platform and React Native app at Adore Beauty, a clinic management portal at Phynd, and open-source contributions at Pleroma covering metadata, reviews, and Safari service workers.

M.S. and B.S. in Computer Science, University of Florida.
