Hi, I'm Brad
and I'm on a mission to help people understand themselves & their communities so that they can learn, work, and live better.
Software & Technology Work
I help businesses solve tough software and IT challenges, from web design to complex business process automation systems.
Nonprofit & Community Consulting
I help organizations improve communication, strengthen collaboration, and build systems that support long-term success.
Youth Mentorship & Coaching
I work with middle and high school students develop the skills, habits, and confidence they need to build a foundation for a fulfilling future.
FIRST Robotics Support
As part of the FIRST community for 15+ years, I work to help teams, mentors, students, and organizers build skills and improve culture.
More About Me
After graduating from Purdue University with a degree in Computer Science & a minor in History in 2013, I spent a few years doing IT support, sysadmin work, technology integration, and teaching a couple classes at West Lafayette Jr/Sr High School, followed by a stint as a web developer for the School of Mechanical Engineering at Purdue and several years as a software & IT systems engineer at AndyMark.
These days, I'm doing a little bit of this & a little bit of that, helping folks leverage technology to work better through my engineering & consulting agency Sledgehammer Infosystems, supporting nonprofits & community organizations, mentoring & coaching young people, supporting the FIRST Robotics programs in my community & across Indiana, and occasionally dabbling in other projects in those sorts of spaces.
In my free time I do a lot of reading, video game playing, and technology-enhanced art.
