Summary
🤩
Rockstar🎓
Top SchoolBrad White is a Senior Software Engineer with nine years of experience building scalable web and backend systems, currently contributing to Elastic's flagship open-source project, Kibana. He brings a pragmatic full-stack background from freelance and startup roles where he scaled an AWS app to 4M users, built TypeScript component libraries, and migrated complex CI/CD pipelines to Docker and AWS. At Elastic he’s focused on improving build, deployment, and path/configuration resilience—adding build metadata, Docker and Serverless support, and fixing cross-platform build issues for a widely used observability stack. His work blends hands-on DevOps and backend engineering with attention to developer experience and documentation, and he pairs that technical depth with a history of product-facing UX improvements and customer collaboration. Based in Big Sky, Montana, Brad combines mountain-born persistence with a track record of shipping reliable, production-grade systems.
