Senior🎓
Top SchoolBrandon Cannaday is a seasoned founder and product leader with 14 years of experience building developer-focused platforms that turn complex systems into approachable tooling. As Co-Founder and Chief Product Officer at Losant, he designs UX and orchestration for IoT solutions that let developers and non-developers alike connect devices, analyze sensor data, and take real-time action. Previously he co-founded Modulus, a PaaS for Node.js that scaled to thousands of apps and was acquired by Progress, and he led engineering there after the acquisition. His background as a hands-on engineer spans Node.js, Go, C/C++, C#, and embedded platforms like Raspberry Pi and Intel Edison—informing pragmatic product decisions grounded in low-level constraints. He’s motivated by platform design: extracting core engines so others can build tailored interfaces, and he continually experiments with emerging hardware and stacks to spot the next big opportunity. Based in Cincinnati, he blends startup grit with technical depth to make sophisticated developer experiences feel simple.
