Connor Bracewell

Hi there! I'm Connor, a software developer working remotely from Victoria, BC. Currently, I work at Stripe. From 2019 to 2025, I worked at Google, primarily on GCP's Cloud Router.

Before that, I studied at the University of Victoria in BC, Canada. I graduated with a BSc in Computer Science and Mathematics, and received a Governor General's Medal for my exceptional academics. My upper-level coursework focused on algorithm design and discrete mathematics (see my transcript for more detail).

Thanks for taking a look at my site! If you have an opportunity you think would interest me, I'd love to hear from you.

My Personal Site

nnor.co

HTML · CSS (Sass) · Javascript
GitHub: connor-bracewell/nnorco
April 2016 - Present

Did this just get too meta?

I built this site as both a portfolio for my achievements and a sandbox where I can try out new technologies and techniques (right now it's being built and served by Cloudflare Pages). It's light and highly bespoke.

It has a few interesting features:

• It's designed to look and work great with JavaScript and/or CSS disabled, which is surprisingly complicated even for a site of this modest size. You try it out with ?noscript, ?nostyle, or ?noscript&nostyle.
• It's also designed for printing, with custom print CSS. In fact, this site is the only copy of my resume I maintain; if I need a copy I can just print the page to a great-looking PDF.
• The domain lets me use the namespace 'co.nnor.bracewell' which I think is pretty neat.

Science Venture Online Registration Site

scienceventure.ca/register

PHP · MySQL · HTML · CSS · Javascript (jQuery)
Developed for Science Venture
June - August 2015

Each year, thousands of parents register their children for the Science Venture youth STEM programs using this online registration site. During my summer internship, I replaced the old rudimentary signup form with a new system, written from scratch to allow parents to more easily and reliably register for these hotly-contested programs.

I was responsible for the design and technical implementation of the entire registration site, from the database and backend to the frontend and admin tools. I worked closely with program leaders and University of Victoria technical staff to develop and deploy the system, which includes a full user account system, real-time registration updates, and payment processing.
