Hi there!
I'm bryn (she/her), a creative developer passionate about
creating accessible and beautiful front-end code, curating communities,
and moving the needle forward in any environment I can.
I'm passionate about the a11y community and using tech to bring people
together. I love using my expertise on accessibility and beautiful design
to improve the experience of the web for all users. I take the ego out of
my work, bring positivity, and believe in leading by example through
building my collaborators and teammates up together.
At the moment I'm located in Colorado, though I’m an avid traveler and have spent many moons doing the "digital
nomad" thing. I also love motorcycles, yoga, and reading. If you’re nosy like me, or curious to hear more, take a
peek at what I’m up to now.
I’m currently looking for my next full-time remote role, so please peruse my site, my resume, and
get in touch!
2021 - 2023
A completely new design and rebuild of the Vail Ski Resort’s My Epic mobile application. In tandem with Vail’s data and infrastructure, we introduced a new and innovative way for skiers to interact with over 30+ ski resorts and manage their Epic pass. My primary focus was on developing the SVG map, including custom styling and animated interactions, as well the development of trails and lifts pages and data, and ensuring clean user experience throughout.
2023
A new website for Vidanta World Resorts in Mexico. I was a part of the core development team that initially built out all of the content models through Contentstack and developed the components this custom data would be piped into. These models were mapped to reusable pages so content managers could change the copy, images, and order of components with complete freedom, while keeping the integrity of the designs across the site.
2021 - 2022
A full redesign and rebuild for the American College of Rheumatology. Leveraging Contentstack, we developed a suite of reusable page templates and content models and using GraphQL we automated the creation of dynamic pages. This allowed ACR to easily manage their content to better support doctors and clients with any number of condition pages and resources. The project began with a development team of five and gradually streamlined until I took over as the sole developer interacting with the client.
2019-2020
A platform for Merrill Lynch to help investors find stocks, ETFs, and Mutual Funds to invest in that align with their personal beliefs and value systems. I was a part of the team that developed this platform from initial design, creating a whole new design-system and component library. I was especially focused on the project meeting WCAG 2.1 AAA standards and building out charts and data visualizations.
Spring 2019
A custom office-wide Slack bot with custom AI to inform the company each day before lunch which food trucks were going to be in the area. The bot would scrape data from the food truck’s websites, google calendars, and tweets to determine schedules and location.
