About Me
James Brentlinger IV
Optician & Full-Stack Developer
Working as an optician at PAL Optical, I've carved out a unique niche by blending clinical expertise with technical development. My work is defined by a commitment to efficiency and modernization — building custom tools that streamline the workplace from the inside out.
From complex quoting systems and inventory management tools to digital patient intake forms, I've acted as an in-house developer, bridging the gap between optical services and functional software solutions.
Beyond the office, my creative energy shifts toward music and gaming. I'm a singer-songwriter — admittedly a much better songwriter than singer — channeling the same drive to create into original music.
Whether I'm engineering mods for Fallout 4, experimenting with AI-driven creative software, or keeping my ABOC and NCLEC certifications sharp, I consistently find ways to build, refine, and innovate across every corner of my life.
Licensed optician with ABOC & NCLEC certifications and years of hands-on patient care.
