👋 Hello! My name is Brendan.

I'm a passionate developer and creator with an interest in web development and design, video production, and cybersecurity.

More About Me

I am a Computer Science student at North Carolina State University, and I have been doing computer programming as a hobby for over 6 years because I love solving complex problems.

I've built projects like BlueDragon (Kubernetes, gRPC, Kotlin, Next.js, MongoDB), Easysearch (Go, SQLite), and a capture-the-flag recruitment challenge (Next.js, Docker, SQLite) for my high school's cybersecurity team.

I'm also a volunteer full-stack web developer at Pitch Labs, a small business education nonprofit. I manage their cloud infrastructure and maintain their website and internal dashboard, both of which are built with Next.js 14, TailwindCSS, and Strapi.

I am currently looking for software engineering internship roles for Summer 2025. Connect with me on LinkedIn!
