Senior🎓
Top SchoolBraden Lawrence is a front-end engineer in Boston with nine years of experience blending UI/UX design roots and modern web development using TypeScript, React/Next.js, GraphQL, Node, and Ruby. He transitioned from creating instructional design and eLearning courseware for cybersecurity, pharmaceutical, and STEM clients into software engineering via Launch Academy, bringing rare domain knowledge of educational UX to product work. At Fidelity/Akoya he built theme customization tooling connecting Go backends to branded front-ends, and he contributes to well-known open-source projects like the emberjs.com site by improving Handlebars templates and component quality.

Now at Solomon Page/Voya, he applies design-driven thinking to front-end engineering, bridging visual craft with scalable code.
