Summary
👤
SeniorBram Swenson is a Principal Research Engineer based in San Francisco with 16 years of hands-on experience building and operating large-scale web systems, infrastructure, and data pipelines. He has led engineering and DevOps teams through major migrations and high-traffic events, notably moving complex Rails ecosystems to AWS, implementing GitOps, and architecting resilient ALB/Nginx routing and autoscaling strategies. Bram combines deep software craftsmanship (Python, Ruby, Node.js) with infrastructure-as-code and observability expertise—terraform, ECS/EKS, CloudWatch and Datadog feature throughout his work. He excels at turning monoliths into service-oriented architectures and automating end-to-end CI/CD workflows that keep deployments predictable under pressure. Known for practical curiosity, he pairs operational discipline with a taste for elegant tooling and an offbeat interest in Aeropress coffee and timeless questions about human nature. Currently driving research-grade engineering at murmuration, he brings both tactical execution and long-term architectural vision.
