Jordan Bradford, Senior Underling / LEGO Aficionado / Web Developer
Jordan studied computer engineering at UIUC and received a B.S. in computer science from UW Oshkosh. His academic interests lie in Human-Computer Interaction (HCI), the interdisciplinary study of the interaction between people and computers with the goal of making computers easier to use and more receptive to users' needs. In the realm of website design, HCI methodologies are given practical application by the creation of interfaces focused on usability and efficiency.
That simply means he can make websites easier to use.
At BrownBoots, Jordan's role is a mixture of what is traditionally called a "web developer" and a "web designer," but he focuses mostly on development. He also is a huge typography nerd and plays art director from time to time. Outside of the office, Jordan serves as worship leader at his church and is active in the Young Professionals of Fond du Lac.
