About Me

Code. Design. Explore. is the blog of John Brennan, a web developer/designer, entrepreneur, and avid world traveler. I currently live in San Diego, CA, USA.

My first passion is to create. I want to be part of a successful startup that will empower others. I believe in designing for the user and appreciate other web apps that design for usability.

My second passion is to help. My heart lies in philanthropy and helping others that are just as able, but haven't been afforded the same opportunities only because they were born at a different coordinate on this Earth.

This blog will mostly be around building cool things, although I will surely include my travel experiences when I am abroad. Feel free to subscribe to a specific category if that is only what interests you. And please connect with me. I always enjoy meeting new, interesting people!
