Featured Expertise
Software Development
By day, I'm a software developer. I'm currently a Senior Software Engineer working for Bloomberg, LP. I'm doing full stack web development. That involves Javascript/Typescript and React, HTML5 & CSS plus Postgres. My past lives have included Air Traffic Control software, distributed real-time Object-Oriented software. I've been a developer, product manager, and conducted a ton of software development training and consulting.
Featured Expertise
Photography
I've been actively shooting for the past fifteen years. I shoot travel photography, landscapes, cityscapes, event photos, and the occasional portrait and headshot. And, of course, tons of family photos (which is why I'm never in the shots). A gallery of some of my best photos (which are also available for licensing and sale) is on bradbalfourphotography.com.
Featured Expertise
Video Editing
Over the last few years I've done a lot of video editing both professionally and personally. I've run multi-camera shoots of live plays and then edited the entire production. I've created short interview documentary promos, trailers, wedding photo shoot BTS videos and more.
