Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolBrady Wied is an engineering manager based in Denver with over a decade of hands-on experience across the software lifecycle, currently leading engineering at FusionAuth. He blends pragmatic architecture, governance, and TDD-driven delivery to produce secure, maintainable systems for clients in CPG, healthcare, finance, energy, travel, SaaS and government. A former founder and long-time consultant, he pairs delivery-focused leadership with deep technical craft—authoring tests and contributing to Ruby tooling such as opal/opal and ruby/spec where he implemented core language behaviors and tightened regex and runtime correctness. Brady pushes teams and clients to clarify the “why” behind requirements, favoring polyglot solutions that fit the problem rather than the latest trend. His background includes early network engineering at the CIA and a BS in Computer Engineering from Texas A&M, giving him a disciplined, security-aware perspective uncommon in typical product shops. Colleagues describe him as a pragmatic, test-first leader who scales both code quality and team capability.
