Refinement, creativity and attention to detail have always been indelible guiding principles in my life.

I started playing the violin when I was three and learned that I had perfect pitch at the age of five (it wasn't until later that a professor told me only 1 in 10,000 people has it). Through daily practice, I reached Concertmaster status by the age of 17 and was fortunate enough to experience the empowering feeling of mastery, and the rewarding feeling of being counted on to perform under pressure both expressively and immaculately.

To me, coding hasn't been much different from the performing arts so far. I approach learning new development concepts the same way I approach learning new pieces of music - as an enjoyable marathon where practice is due every day. When it comes down to delivery, sometimes improvising on the spot is a must. And sometimes, the outcome can be surprisingly more beautiful than expected.

Creating keeps me going and learning keeps me growing. I'm naturally curious and strive for elegance and excellence in everything that I tackle. Feel free to add me on LinkedIn or drop me a line at brendanmioburns@gmail.com - let's connect.
