Hi, I'm Brady Hurlburt.👋

I live in Indianapolis with my wife, kiddos, and dog. I'm interested in online social learning and healthy online interactions in general.

I'm a senior software developer at Salesforce. I co-founded an online coding platform for middle schoolers called Rovercode. I wrote here about some things I think are important for designing online social learning for kids.

I like school 🎓. I'm a graduate of Georgia Tech's OMSCS program with a focus in interactive artificial intelligence, and I have a BS in electrical engineering and an MA in teaching 📜. Here's something I wrote about synchronous online peer support.

Right now I'm looping The Beths, and I'm hooked on this YouTuber who covers songs in a pop-punk style 🎸.

I'd love to chat 💬. Feel free to email me. Want to learn more about me? Check out my micro-blog, take a look at what I've been reading.

Consider supporting The Bail Project. Black Lives Matter.
