Senior🎓
Top SchoolKeith Brewster is a resilient full-stack web developer and educator with about a decade of professional experience and over six years focused on full-stack web development. He currently leads web development instruction at BrainStation while driving front-end architecture improvements at CBC/Radio-Canada, where his GraphQL work cut payloads by 95% and improved time-to-interactive by a third. Comfortable across React, Node.js, cloud platforms, and microservice architectures, he pairs hands-on engineering with a passion for mentorship, helping late-career switchers succeed. His background—rising from homelessness to a tech career—gives him uncommon empathy and persistence that shape his teaching and leadership. He also brings practical experience in OTT, voice apps, TDD, and data analytics, framing solutions with both user-focused UI/UX and performance-first engineering.
