Potter at Pots Anonymous
Davis, California, United States
Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolBrandon Blaylock is a former senior software engineer turned full-time potter in Davis, California, combining 11 years of technical rigor with hands-on craft. He designs and builds kilns and studios, formulates glazes using chemical analysis and programming, and applies problem-solving skills from his engineering career to materials and firing techniques. His background ranges from systems administration and data center work to frontline software engineering roles, giving him a rare mix of infrastructure, automation, and frontend experience. Brandon teaches wheelthrowing and handbuilding, contributes to a local ceramics community, and sources raw materials by reading geological surveys—an unusual blend of fieldwork and code-driven experimentation. He holds a mathematics degree from UC Irvine and brings a methodical, test-driven approach to both ceramics and past software projects. Quietly curious and practical, he prefers making tangible, beautiful objects over abstract metrics—and brings the same attention to detail to both.
