Résumé - Brandon Bruno - Software Engineer & Solutions Architect

Overview

I solve complex business problems with simple technology solutions. This includes performant, agile, and accessible solutions for the web and (occasionally) other platforms. I also have extensive experience with sales engineering, SaaS technologies, public speaking, mentoring, and leading development teams.

I've built software for industries such as healthcare, manufacturing, logistics, legal, social services, public universities, financial services, and many more.

As a software engineer & architect, I believe that simplicity is the root of quality.

My personal website can be found at BrandonBruno.com and my open-source software is available on GitHub.
