Rockstar🎓
Top SchoolBrandon Kurtz is an IT Engineer with 11 years of hands-on experience building and operating device management and client platform tooling across large tech companies. He has driven MDM strategy and escalations for thousands of macOS, iOS, Android, and Windows endpoints at organizations including OpenAI, Uber, Airbnb, and Google, often automating repetitive work with Terraform, Python, Go, and Shell. His background blends systems engineering, secure rollout patterns (blue/green, mTLS tunneling), and practical DevEx improvements like Chrome extensions and CLI tools that eased developer onboarding. Notably, he led macOS beta adoption and authored runbooks used to enroll and remediate endpoints at scale, reducing manual ClickOps through Terraform-managed Jamf deployments. After a recent career break to learn French and relocate to France, he’s resumed hands-on IT engineering work with a focus on MDM automation and cross-team adoption. Colleagues would describe him as a pragmatic automator who prefers shipping durable, auditable solutions that scale.
