Hi, I'm Braden, I am currently seeking work as a Software Engineer!.
Welcome to my online portfolio. Here you can browse my work and find out more about me.
I'm a software engineer. I am currently based in Austin, TX working as a Software Development Engineer in Test. Some accomplishments include leading a QA effort and structure for a team as well as performing automtion for customer facing web products that did not have any previously. Though I am currently a SDET I do have prior development experience. Formerly I worked for Walt Disney Company as a Software Engineer developing web and mobile applications for their parks.
I am always/currently looking to continue to grow within either QA or SDET roles. Companies with great culture and work life balance are a plus.
During my time at Disney, I was able to create and present some UI work on their main mobile application, My Disney Experience, which allowed guests to plan their day around the park. This can be found on the App Store as well.
One of the largest and currently ongoing project I had with the company Accruent, was to headstart a new process of QA due to a large structure change of team members on the product. As well as starting an automation framework for the prodcut as it previously had none prior. This allowed certain tasks to be done more swiftly and allowed the team to more easily catch breaks in development since the process would run automatically each day. https://www.accruent.com/resources/brochures/vfafacility
During my time at Raytheon I was tasked with creating a sample homepage made in Angularjs and giving their new page a responsive functionality.
