👋 Hello! My name is Brendan.
I'm a student and software developer interested in backend development, DevOps, and cloud-native technologies.
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 about 9 years because I love solving complex problems. I'm currently the president of NCSU's App Development Club and a member of the Computer Science Student Ambassadors.
In my free time, I've built projects like BlueDragon (a cloud-native Minecraft server network on Kubernetes) and Easysearch (a full-text and semantic search indexer, crawler, and API).
I'm currently interning at Lucid Software, working on improving the speed and reliability of their end-to-end tests.
