Intro

Let me introduce myself.

Hello, my name is Brodie thank you for taking the time to take a look at what I have been up to for the past few years.

I have had the pleasure of working in many different fields throughout my my life and I have learned something valuable from each of them. I believe having such a varied life experience has made me adaptable and has allowed me to embrace new career challenges.

Expertise

Some of my relevant skills.
01

Front-end Web Development

There is something very satisfying about a page full of well stuctured HTML. Specializing most recently in WordPress theme development, front-end development is passion of mine.

02

WordPress

After starting to work with WordPress in 2010, I fell in love with its simplicity and range of utility. I now use WordPress as a basis for almost all of my new web projects.

03

Photography

Although this has intentionally been kept mostly as a hobbie of mine, I have assisted many clients and friends with professional photos. I am currently responsible for BCIT's high-tech program student headshots.

04

Responsive Design

Now a standard for all new projects, I enjoy the process of ensuring that websites look great and load quickly on all devices.

05

Client Management

With 12 years of small business experience and my recent role as a mortgage broker, I've learned a lot about working with different types of clients.

06

Project Management

As a sole proprietor, I am comfortable taking a project from start-to-finish, ensuring that timelines are adhered to and the client is happy with the product.
