About

I'm Bryan DeBaun — a Senior Software Engineer who focuses on web platforms, cloud-native systems, and developer tools. I enjoy building reliable systems and clear developer experiences.

Why BAD?

BAD stands for Bryan A. DeBaun, but the word isn't an accident. It's a deliberate contrast — a reminder that "good" and "bad" in software are rarely absolute. The name sticks, and that's the point.
