Student Success through system integration and joint ventures

Brendon Irwin

Wilfrid Laurier University

At Wilfrid Laurier University, I am employed as a System Analyst and am a member of the ICT Webteam. I specialize in full stack, web development as well as systems integrations. I currently assist with development and maintenance of our web ecosystem. I actively contribute to Wilfrid Laurier's Architecture Group and Security Group. I've enjoyed dabbling with all sorts of technology, starting from an early age but when I'm not coding I love to take hikes and canoe/kayak journeys in the great outdoors.
