Hi, I’m Brendon.

I'm a full-stack developer with over 5 years of experience. I enjoy building websites and web apps, especially when I get to work on something custom. My background in design and marketing has also helped me understand what businesses actually need from their websites.

Project 1 / 4

Expertise

Frontend: the layouts, components and interactions people use.

Frontend development is what I enjoy most. I like taking a design and figuring out how to bring it to life. I've worked on everything from custom websites to more complex web applications, and I always try to make sure what I build looks good and works well on any screen.

Tools

JavaScript
HTML
CSS / SCSS
Responsive layouts
Tailwind CSS
Foundation

Used in

Backend: data, logic, forms and the integrations behind them.

I've worked on a lot of projects where the real work happens behind the scenes. Whether it's building custom functionality or connecting different systems together, I enjoy figuring out how everything needs to work. Some of my favorite projects have been the ones where I've had to build something completely custom.

Tools

PHP
Zapier
MySQL
Mustache
Web3Forms
Laravel components

Used in

WordPress & CMS: custom themes and the editing experience.

I've worked with WordPress for years, starting with page builders and eventually moving into custom themes and development with PHP and ACF. I like being able to build exactly what a website needs without relying on a bunch of plugins. I've also built custom portals and systems that make things easier for the people using them.

Tools

WordPress
ACF Pro
Sage (Roots)
Blade
Custom post types
Custom roles and permissions

Used in

Design & workflow: from layout to a tested release.

I enjoy being involved in a project from the beginning and seeing it all come together. Along with development, I've worked in digital marketing, which has helped me understand the business side of websites. I like figuring out what needs to be improved and building something that actually makes a difference.

Tools

Git / GitHub
WP Engine
Yarn
Webpack
SFTP
SSH

Used in

Marketing: content, campaigns and the work behind them.

Marketing has always been part of what I do alongside development. My wife Kaylee and I started The Twilight Trekkers in 2021, and we've grown it to over 26K Instagram followers and worked with 11 brands. I write our blogs, film and edit drone footage, and pay attention to what our followers enjoy most.

At Rally, I also handled marketing for the Rally Connects tradeshow. We originally planned for around 100 people, but ended up having over 250 attend.

Tools

Mailchimp
HubSpot
Instagram reels
Drone video editing
Lightroom
