Realtime occupancy information allowing members to reserve space instantly and remotely. WeWork product teams gain valuable insights into occupancy, desirability, and other metrics about the space. The UI was designed in house and built as a web app by me alone. I leveraged an MQTT backend, Svelte, and several other interal APIs.
This app services the entire Hyperfine customer base, allowing them to self service their user accounts and devices. I graphic designed and built the entire web app alone using Bootstrap, Svelte/Sapper, and freebie assets. The app has SSR and uses Node, Redis, and in-house APIs and looks great on apple, android, and desktop.

mcgregorpublishing.comBrandon is a source of ongoing support and partnership during development. Not only does he understand the technical side and limitations but he articulates the trade offs and decisions we face. Unlike many of my interactions with developers, Brandon prioritizes the user even when this means more work for the engineers. His organization and collaboration impressed me through our entire time working together. It is a pleasure to work creatively with him to solve the very complex and challenging needs of our product.
Brandon is a strong communicator, an empathetic leader, and proactive doer. When Brandon joined my team at WeWork, I vividly recall a presentation he gave for a Smart Desk interface that he had just built - the UI was one of the more memorable things I have encountered, and seemed well ahead of its time. I recall folks from the meeting walking away blown away by the presentation. I highly recommend Brandon as a leader and contributor to any team!
Brandon is a remarkably talented and well-rounded software engineer. He is someone who does not move with the crowd and his foresight paid off to produce a robust, reliable, *fast* web app for viewing 3D brain images from Hyperfine's point-of-care MRI scanner - on both desktop and mobile. He consistently took on important organization roles in which he demonstrated his excellent ability to rally and pace team development. These accomplishments enabled the company to succeed in launching the product.
