Hello

I'm Brant Rusnak.

I craft high-performance, user-focused web interfaces with polish and precision.

I'm a self-taught senior frontend/full-stack engineer with 9+ years of experience helping teams bring ideas to life through fast, intuitive, and accessible web apps. Across startups, agencies, and product teams, I've worn a lot of hats and always found joy in making complex things feel effortless.

Whether I'm deep in component architecture, nudging a UI into place, or tuning performance to make an app feel right, I care about the details. Great software shouldn't just work. It should feel thoughtfully crafted, clear, scalable, and built with the user in mind.
