Hi, I'm Brodie 👋
By day I work as a Software Engineer at DroneShield, where I use my technical skills to help save lives by creating C-UAS systems.
By night I'm an avid open-source developer, speaker, and athlete.
Professional
Working at DroneShield is a fast-paced environment where proactivity is just as important as productivity. I use Go and a suite of complementary technologies to craft solutions which help civilians and those on the battlefield.

Personal
My code journey began at a young age, with a fascination for the limitless potential that software development provides (in comparison to my other options like Lego and Minecraft). I started by developing my own video games, eventually using the Unity engine with C#. This was my introduction to the world of .NET and quickly evolved into a career of web development. Mantel Group provided me my first opportunity out of university and this is where I met those who introduced me to Go and a range of other tools I still use today.
Beyond my professional endeavours, I'm a passionate advocate for FOSS, speaking at conferences, meetups, and contributing to open source projects. My priorities in life are promoting physical and mental wellbeing, and creating a sense of community in all environments. Outside of work I do a wide range of activities other than development. Bouldering 🧗, reading 📚, Muay Thai 🥋, motorcyles 🏍️, hiking 🥾, and horticulture 🌵 are just a few of my hobbies!
