👋 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 currently interning at Purdue University's Rosen Center for Advanced Computing to build a platform-as-a-service for Kubernetes.
