Hello! I'm Bradley Schmitz (he/him) — or just Brad if you want fewer syllables. I'm a software engineer, creative technologist, and musician based in Denver, CO. I'm originally from the cornfields of Northwest Ohio, studied at Miami University of Ohio, and have previously also lived in San Francisco, CA and Los Angeles, CA.


I'm drawn to creative coding and interactive systems — such as virtual/augmented reality, projection mapping, installations, and live visuals — which make light, sound, motion, and space feel responsive and alive. I love seeing where technology, art, and music intersect, to create truly immersive and engaging experiences.
