Summary
James Bradford is a project-focused software engineer with 8 years’ experience building interactive media and outreach tools at the intersection of design, physics, storytelling and code. Currently a Project Associate at CERN and previously a technical student there, he combines front-end React+TypeScript work with backend integrations (Java, SOAP, commercial EAMs) to deliver playable simulations and science communication experiences. His background spans full-stack web and mobile development—Django/DRF, Vue, React Native, Expo and GraphQL—paired with strong academic performance in Computer Science from the University of Exeter. Known for mentoring teammates and improving Agile processes, he brings both creative design sensibility and rigorous engineering to complex, public-facing projects. Based in Ferney-Voltaire, he quietly blends game-like interaction design with scientific accuracy to make research accessible to broad audiences.
