I'm Brandon, A Senior Software Engineer at Newton.co. The Low cost cryptocurrency trading platform for Canadians.

I design and operate production systems that handle real-world constraints—scale, latency, failure, and long-term maintainability.

My work sits at the intersection of backend architecture, cloud infrastructure, and product engineering. The emphasis is on systems that remain understandable and operable as they grow.

• Design and maintain cloud-native backend systems in production
• Build APIs that remain stable under evolving requirements and load
• Work across infrastructure, services, and frontend to deliver complete features
• Address failure modes, performance constraints, and system boundaries early

• Backend architecture and service design
• Cloud infrastructure (AWS)
• Full-stack applications (Next.js, Node.js, NestJS)
• System design and scalability
• Developer tooling and workflow optimization

• Prioritize clarity and explicitness in system design
• Limit unnecessary abstraction and hidden complexity
• Design for failure, observability, and long-term operation
• Treat infrastructure, application code, and workflows as a single system

Pinned repositories reflect practical engineering work, including:

• API architecture and service patterns
• Distributed system components and primitives
• Full-stack applications
• Tooling and automation for development and operations

Early experience in VFX pipeline systems, working on structured workflows for complex production environments. This background informs a focus on determinism, reliability, and disciplined system design.
