Summary
🤩
Rockstar🎓
Top SchoolBrad Christensen is a Head of Product and former software engineer with 12 years' experience building cloud-native services, front-end experiences and embedded systems, now focused on crafting high-performance web and mobile interactions. He blends hands-on engineering (TypeScript microservices, serverless, Terraform, observability) with product leadership—recruiting, coaching and shaping delivery at AirSuite and previously transforming LIC from a Microsoft shop to a cloud-first open source stack. A pragmatic UI enthusiast, Brad contributes to notable open-source projects improving UX and build security (e.g., keeweb macOS code-signing and responsive fixes for webui-aria2). He’s comfortable switching hats from architect to coder and even diving into Visual Basic or designer-level work when the situation calls for it. Based in Hamilton, New Zealand, he’s as likely to be biking Te Awa or experimenting with Anna Jones recipes as he is iterating delightful micro-interactions for users.
