Braden Snell is a senior software engineer and former technical founder with roughly a decade of experience shipping full-stack products across startups and large tech. He specializes in TypeScript and React-driven user interfaces but routinely moves into backend, infra, and developer tooling—having built GraphQL/REST/tRPC APIs, a scalable WebSocket broker, Stripe integrations, and a published game-dev SDK. At Zilch he combined hands-on architecture, user research, and product delivery to launch an online bot-building platform with WebGL/BabylonJS visuals, and at Microsoft and Censys he accelerated team productivity through clean codebases, docs, and practical engineering trade-offs. Based in Ann Arbor, he brings an educator’s enthusiasm—deriving energy from helping others ship their first working code—paired with a growth mindset and willingness to learn new languages and tooling on the job.
