Summary
Bailey Brooks is a product leader with nine years of experience building developer and platform experiences across Apple, Spotify, GitHub, and Microsoft, now focused on gaming and graphics at Apple. He has repeatedly led cross-functional efforts that turned developer workflows into measurable product outcomes—from GitHub Discussions and Lists to Spotify’s Backstage portal and Codespaces growth experiments. Bailey blends a strong CS foundation with deep expertise in experimentation, onboarding, and developer experience, plus formal training from Reforge in retention and product mastery. Notably, he’s shipped features adopted by millions (e.g., >1M Lists created) and helped institutionalize experimentation pipelines that scaled across organizations. Based in San Francisco, he pairs technical curiosity with product rigor and an unusual breadth spanning consumer music platforms to developer tooling.
