Summary
Brandon Bellero is a Forward Deployed Engineer with 11 years of experience building cloud-native systems and AI-powered products across startups and enterprise environments. He blends hands-on engineering, product leadership, and founding experience—most recently helping teams ship the next wave of AI solutions at PromptLayer after founding an AI app studio, Pippo Labs. At LeafLink and Capital One he led developer-focused products and enterprise AI adoption, launching automation and payments capabilities that became commercial differentiators.
