Connor Bracewell

Hey there! I'm Connor Bracewell, software developer and technical problem solver extraordinaire.

In 2018, I graduated from the University of Victoria with a BSc in Computer Science & Mathematics, and received a Governor General's Silver Medal for my exceptional academics. My upper-level coursework focused on algorithm design and discrete mathematics (see my transcript for more detail).

Right now, I work as a Software Engineer at Google. My team is responsible for the GCP Cloud Router.

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

Developed for Science Venture
June - August 2015

Each year, thousands of users register for the Science Venture STEM youth programs on their online registration site. This project involved replacing the existing form-based implementation with a new system that would allow users to more easily and reliably register for these fast-selling 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 UVic technical staff to develop and deploy the system, which includes a full user account system, real-time registration updates, and payment processing.

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 served by Surge). I aim to keep it as clean and lightweight as possible.

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 can go back to the scripty version at nnor.co.
• 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.
