Welcome! š My name is Braden Hitchcock. Iām a Software Engineer at Northrop Grumman in Boulder, Colorado. I have a bachelorās degree in C.S. from Brigham Young University, a masterās degree in C.S. from Oregon State University, and about 7 years of professional software experience under my belt. Iām passionate about mastering software architecture, evolving legacy systems, and sharing what I learn with others.
My goal with this site is to help elevate you so that together we can innovate new solutions, instruct each other on core principles, and inspire each other to become our best selves.
The software industry is fast-paced. Keeping up with it can be challenging. I hope to make it easier for all of us to contribute to the innovations of the future by capturing core principles of software engineering and documenting my experiences with new technologies, standards, and practices.
We constantly digest new information, but do we ever make time to turn around and share it with others? I hope to give back as much as I can by summarizing the lessons Iāve learned while discovering principles of well-engineered software systems.
One of the greatest achievements I could make is to be a catalyst of change. My goal is to motivate you to try new things and improve your skills. To that end, I hope that you will find useful insights and educational resources as you explore this site!
Thanks for visiting! I hope youāll tune in occasionally to see what new insights, tutorials, lessons, and technologies may be available on this site!
