Senior🎓
Top SchoolBrandon Gomes is a software engineer and founder in New York with 11 years of experience focused on privacy-first systems and formal verification. He has moved from research-grade formalization work—formalizing parts of the Riemann Hypothesis in Lean and building integrations with mathlib—to leading engineering teams and technology strategy as CTO at p0x labs. A Rust specialist who later founded MVUP Internet Corporation, he contributes to prominent open-source cryptography projects like plonky2, where he stabilized core prover components and removed unstable features. His background in physics and math (BS, Rutgers) informs a rigorous, proof-oriented approach to software design and secure system architecture. Brandon’s personal motto—“writing secure software before the AI gets here”—reflects a proactive stance on security and robustness in emerging AI-era infrastructure. He blends deep academic training with hands-on backend engineering and startup leadership.
