Summary
Brandon Hunter is a Senior Back End Engineer and technical lead with nine years of experience modernizing large enterprise systems into cloud-native Go and TypeScript platforms. He blends a non-traditional background in psychology, criminology, and facial-action research with self-taught software craft, producing human-centered IoT and voice interfaces alongside scalable backend services. At companies from NBCUniversal and HBOMax to Camping World he has led migrations to AWS Fargate, built CI/CD frameworks, and architected cost-optimized, secure deployments using Terraform, Kafka, and Kubernetes. Known for ideation and systems thinking, he pairs data-driven analysis with pragmatic engineering—often inventing tooling (GitLab CI templates, parallel Cypress pipelines) that accelerates teams. Outside work he prototypes Raspberry Pi, 3D-printing, and VUI projects, reflecting a persistent curiosity that informs both product empathy and technical design.
