I love building useful things and problem solving. Coding is a perfect mix of both those activities, so I was naturally drawn to it 10 years ago and haven't stopped since. Apart from coding I also enjoy snowboard, strategy games, and teaching myself new things. If you're in need of a talented fullstack web developer, get in touch!

Infiniscape
Infiniscape is a full stack application that is built on React, Redux and C#. It allows users to purchase fun online experiences with hosts. I built out the entire front-end including the landing pages, shopping carts, dashboard, experience pages, and all the front end logic to save the data in Redux.
A shopify eCommerce site I built focusing heavily on improving the conversion rate and simplicity for users. I probably should have opted to be paid in cookies, they're so good!
Helped build a blog using React, GraphQL, and CosmicJS. They already had an existing Wordpress blog, which meant a lot of the work was ensuring no SEO rankings were lost during the conversion to the new blog.
This is a Squarespace site that needed some changes to the UX and UI. I helped the owner figure out the best way to update his site and built out those changes.
A financial advisors website built using HTML, CSS and JavaScript. This is a straightforward website build with a focus on making minor changes to reflect their events and increasing their conversion rate.
I worked with a team of 4 and a project manager on this website, most recently I built out the front end for their shipping department to help with labeling and tracking of their deliveries.
Chris Brody is a great mentor and gives a positive feedback. He has helped me become a better developer and taught me programming languages I know and use today. He’s helpful and supportive. I highly recommend chris as a mentor and can learn a lot from him.
Bryan Frey / Cruise Automation
As a student of Codify Academy, having a co-founder/mentor like chris has been a wonderful experience. chris's willingness to answer my questions, giving sound feedback and his constant positive attitude assures me that I made the right decision to be apart of Codify Academy. I hope one day to provide the same passion and spirit to my future job as a front-end developer as chris does with being a founder of Codify Academy.
Rich Spence / Google
Chris has built an incredible company with his brothers, and his ability to teach others (in a positive and engaging fashion) is wonderfully infectious- he gets the best out of his students. Towards the end of our coding Bootcamp, chris was our career counselor mentor and provided us with invaluable game plans to ensure our job hunt success after the program. Codify Academy feels more like a family than anything else and that’s a testament to the owners’ visions. I would highly recommend chris, Codify Academy and any project that chris is affiliated with!

I am writing to recommend chris Brody for Teaching position at Codify Academy. I have known chris for 4 years, ever since we met in the tech industry.He is a hard-worker who is willing to take new challenges every day to impart instructions and create an excellent classroom environment. His instructional methods are quite modern. He contributed immensely to the Codify school by developing a core curriculum and providing instructional support.

Chris is a great person to be around! His technical knowledge nearly matches his communication skills. He is well versed in modern front-end technologies and is always learning something new. This creates an exponential increase in efficiency when working with him because you will always know where a project stands and where you need to go next. Highly recommend overpaying him. 5/5 stars. Will recommend to friends.
