Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolBrett Fishman is a seasoned software engineering leader with 18+ years of delivering scalable software that creates value for customers, internal users, and developers. At Stitch Fix, he spent eight years guiding platform strategy, leading international launches, founding platform teams, and driving technical direction across web and mobile as the company grew from startup to IPO. He has steered major architectural migrations—GraphQL federation, unified auth, and a PIM-to-MDM transition—while advocating for developer experience, SLOs, and design systems. Today he serves as Software Engineering Leader and Senior Staff Engineer at Cisco Meraki, and he also works as a technology consultant to help early-stage companies scale. His impact is measurable: a new product catalog platform backed by a leading 3P MDM reduced time to add product attributes from weeks to hours, a data pipeline unlocked $12M in savings, and a price-architecture realignment delivered $20M+ in COGS reductions. Outside of engineering, he brings a creative edge from a background in music and songwriting, illustrating how diverse experiences fuel innovative, collaborative product-building.
