About

Function Switch is for the most part me, Brad MacDonald. I'd describe myself as a mid 30s geek Dad.

I find passion in many things large and small.

My family; my wife and 2 daughters, they bring me true joy.

I find I love Apple Inc too much, but they are just a company and I'm the first to say that. I may love them, but they do not love me.

Music keeps me moving when even coffee fails, and coffee is something I love far too much. I live 12 hours on an average day with white earbuds attached to my body. Want me to like you? Give me a Venti Iced Americano with 2 Splenda.

On top of all of this I find a strange connection to The Force, I am Star Wars, Star Wars is me. It defines so much of what I am it is odd to express.

Recently I worked as a Project Manager for a small development and media firm Blackbarn Media, through an acquisition I now work as a PM and analyst for a public health org focusing on CMS projects leveraging Drupal and Joomla. Prior to that I wore multiple hats at a health care software startup, recently gobbled up and spit out.

I've spent a large part of my adult life working in Software QA and process improvement. I spent a few years toiling at AOL when it seemed they might still make it.

I love software, databases and problem solving. Give me a problem, coffee and a whiteboard and I am happy.

where to find me?
