His open-source work spans notable projects like Turing School’s curriculum, Compass, Octopress, and SendGrid docs where he focused on templating, styling, and cross-browser CSS mixins. Based in Birmingham, AL, Brandon excels at translating tight constraints into dependable, maintainable UI components that make complicated workflows feel thoughtful and humane.
