Frontend software developer engineering beautiful digital experiences.
I focus on bridging technical expertise with innovative designs, engineered for humans. In short, I make new things, test them to their breaking points, and then build them back better. If you're interested, let's chat.

Check out some of my latest work.
I'm currently making this section bigger and better in order to showcase a bunch of new, exciting stuff. For now, you can check out my Github for links to live versions of some of my personal projects, or you can quickly view a few of my more current professional works below.
Languages, Frameworks, and Tools
I love JavaScript and I stay hooked on React.
Life comes at you fast, but technology is faster, which is why I'm always eager to learn the latest advancements in tech. My foundation is built on a comprehensive knowldege of HTML5, CSS3, and JavaScript (ES6+), but I enjoy working cross-functionally on backend micro-services, RESTful APIs, and testing services using Ruby, SQL, and Golang. I'm passionate about React and its ecosystem. So much so that I picked up React Native in order to build an iOS app, which I released to the App Store in 2020.

Get to know me
Quality assurance tester turned teacher turned frontend developer.
Hi, I'm Charlie Billadeau
I bet you’re wondering how I got here. Turns out spending hours getting frighteningly good at breaking video game software during development sprints leads you down some interesting paths in the wider software industry. In my case, it eventually lead me into programming and building some cool apps.
Currently, I'm a frontend software engineer at ReviewTrackers, a review management SaaS company. Before that, I was a web developer at the Minnesota Timberwolves & Lynx, where I have led the development and transition of our team sites & codebase from Drupal to WordPress and automated our website generation with Gatsby.
