Adam Bedient

Hi! My name is Adam. I'm a front-end developer with a math and computer science BA and 15 years experience traveling the country (and the world!) as a documentary filmmaker.

During my time as a creative storyteller, documentarian, editor, director, and cinematographer, I obtained what I like to consider a masters-level degree in critical thinking and small team collaboration. As a project lead, I was integral to shaping a creative vision, leading meetings from broad and conceptual to granular and administrative, and helping to manage other team members.

A seasoned storyteller and expert learner, my innate (and acquired!) ability to understand and then convey information to solve problems creatively and collaboratively has paved the runway for my inevitable return to the technical world as a software developer. My passion for logical communication makes me an expert at sniffing out a problem and finding a path forward, while my creativity and ability to lead through listening makes me an ideal team member.

I believe that humanity comes first, a lesson I learned time and time again as a filmmaker, and one I've carried with me into engineering. If we deny our humanity, the work suffers. Every time. This mantra has guided much of my work, and I view collaboration as a soup to nuts concept. The user is a collaborator just as much as the back end dev. If we aren’t tuned into the breadth of each other’s experiences during the creation process, THE WORK SUFFERS.

If it sounds like I am speaking your language, or if you know someone I should talk to, please reach out! I would love to connect over a zoom tea-time, or a game of pickleball. Message me here or at adambedient@gmail.com.
