Summary
🤩
Rockstar🎓
Top SchoolBrady Bonnette is a Senior Rust Ops & Application Developer with a decade of experience building backend systems, APIs, and infrastructure automation from idea to production. Comfortable as a polyglot, he moves between Rust, Ruby on Rails, C#, Java and scripting to apply the right tool for the job while prioritizing database performance and testable, deployable systems. He blends hands-on development with DevOps—Terraform, Ansible, Docker and CI/CD—to dramatically reduce deployment time and reliably ship services at scale. Notably, he contributes to pgx-related Rust tooling for Postgres extensions, improving CI, testing and formatter integration across Linux distributions. His background spans product and agency work, mentoring peers and consulting to unblock projects, and he favors backstack engineering over frontend work. Based in Akron, Ohio, he balances a quiet off-duty life of movies and PC gaming with a steady curiosity for new languages and frameworks.
