Welcome! I'm Braxton Barker.

My passion is to transform and design software applications to solve pain points in a user's experience.

I have spent the last 10 years not only improving and innovating DoD and government software design but also serving my country in the Air Force Reserves. I have had success with contractors like NexGen Data Systems, C2 Technologies, as well as Government entities like the NAF, Air University, and the Marine Corps.

A Brief History

I've had the pleasure of being contracted by Fearless to be a Design Operations Manager for BESPIN Design Studio of The United States AirForce. My mission here was to create systems to allow both contractors and government employees to work together cohesively. I also mentored and trained airmen who were developers by trade to become product designers.
