About

I clean up web sites that are poorly designed or coded. (OSX/Linux Environments)

"I am always available to a good team to do whatever is necessary as long as it is interesting, much more if it is inspiring." -=Brett

Atoms | Bits | Pixels | Photons | Waves

Brett is a Technical Designer, adept at moving between art and engineering, who believes in applying the power of design to transform technology for more and better.

In high school as an amateur architect, he designed and built the first skatepark in Brownsburg, Indiana. The park included street obstacles, a vert ramp, and a steel surfaced back-to-back mini-ramp.

While earning his Physics degree at Butler University, he was selected for the Quantum Mechanics Lab. There he machined custom components, milled aluminum mirror mounts, to support a pulsed dye laser experiment exploring photoionization. When studying psychology at Wabash College, he created an electric chair sculpture about addiction using primitive Integrated Circuits to animate incandescent light bulbs.

Starting at Rackspace in 2000, he spent ~10 years designing secret internal operations software including the Rackspace ticketing system and data center automation.

Pursuing a enduring fascination with light, he created, Blinkdom, a hardware project wiring up software, LEDs, water bottles, and an industrial robot. He designed Moonbeam, a software project mixing a Monome 64, sound, and a DMX512 lighting system.

Currently at r26D, "arr twenty-six dee", he collaborates on a variety of projects from ReactJS web interfaces to CNC furniture and digital architecture, designing in software and physical materials.
