About

Hello, I'm Brandon —

Graduated magna cum laude from UC Berkeley with a Bachelor's degree in Physics and Applied Mathematics.

As a Software Engineer, my role spans the entire software development lifecycle, from designing intuitive user interfaces using React and TypeScript to architecting robust backend solutions with Node.js and C#. Drawing on my academic background in Physics and Applied Mathematics from UC Berkeley, I excel in creating seamless user experiences that drive business impact.

I prioritize agile development principles to ensure the scalability, maintainability, and swift delivery of features. This approach has been pivotal in my contributions to enhancing application performance and pushing technological boundaries in the software industry.
