Brandon Hyde is a Principal Software Engineer with 13 years of experience building and architecting secure, production-grade web systems, currently leading engineering at Qanapi after a multi-year tenure as a Software Architect at IBM. He combines deep hands-on skills in backend technologies—Oracle, PHP, SOAP, Bash—and identity/security systems with a history of leading teams, migrating large user bases, and implementing SAML and password hashing at scale. Brandon’s career spans both infrastructure-heavy roles (data center/server technician) and application-focused work (Laravel apps for SMBs), giving him rare cross-domain fluency from hardware to app-layer design. He’s known for turning complex security and permission requirements into practical, well-documented solutions and for mentoring teams through roadmap and performance challenges. Based in Cartersville, GA, he brings a pragmatic, operations-minded approach rooted in a formal background in networking and security.
