Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolAugust Brenner is a Principal Engineer and serial founder based in San Francisco with 12+ years building scalable web and mobile platforms, analytics pipelines, and developer-friendly tooling. He combines deep full-stack expertise across JavaScript, Python, Go, Java, Ruby and C/C++ with hands-on leadership—often spending 70%+ of his time coding while reorganizing teams around agile practices. August has repeatedly turned messy data and ad-hoc analysis into robust, automated pipelines (including a deployed predictive traffic model across live intersections) and has shipped profitable SaaS and marketplace businesses from prototype to acquisition. A practical product thinker and hobbyist quant, he consults for startups and investors using data-driven approaches to discover product-market fit and measurable growth. Unusually for a principal engineer, he learned programming at age seven from his parents and pairs that lifelong hacker curiosity with experience running bare-metal Kubernetes clusters and complex ETL/ML stacks.
