--- layout: page title: About permalink: /about/ --- Hi, my name is Bradley Taunt. I'm a designer/developer hybrid helping software companies improve their user experience and ship more performant products. Currently making search engine results data more accessible at [SerpApi](https://serpapi.com). I also actively maintain several [open source projects](/projects). I'm passionate about open source software, usability, performance, privacy, and minimal design. This small piece of the internet stores a growing collection of my personal [brain dumps](/posts/dump). ### Skills & Languages Core programming languages are HTML, CSS, JavaScript, and Ruby. For design work, my preferred tools are Sketch, GIMP, and Figma. I also enjoy tinkering with basic shell scripts and [Unix systems](/public/images/unix.gif). ### Design Thought Experiments [Stop Using Hamburger Menus (Sometimes)](/posts/hamburgers)
