Hi, I'm Brendan πŸ‘‹πŸ»

I'm a technologist and speaker
I am also a 1x and a 4x dad πŸ‘¦πŸ» πŸ‘§πŸΌ πŸ‘¦πŸ» πŸ‘§πŸΌ

From bricking my first Tandy computer (sorry, Dad) to working at fast-paced startups to building side apps people love, I have experience tinkering and building from 0 to 1.

Me speaking at an internal GitLab event - GitLab Commit 2019 in New Orleans
My 4 kids in Acadia National Park in Maine
My 2025 headshot from GitHub Universe
A cartoon version of my headshot made for my speaking slot at DevOps Days Chicago
Me at Instagram in New York City at one of their photo egg places
Lots and lots of badges that I've collected over the years

While the site works in light mode (your current setting), I highly recommend switching to dark mode for the best experience.

When it comes to public speaking, I'm not your typical tech speaker. From Apollo missions to Legos to Black Mirror, you won't find a boring deck filled with code here.
