Brandon Phillips is a Principal Software Engineer with 14 years of experience building and re-architecting large-scale web backend services and their web and mobile clients, currently driving architecture and cross-functional initiatives at Vivian Health. He combines hands-on feature delivery with leadership of small teams, vendor procurement, and zero-downtime migrations—most notably moving core infrastructure from Heroku to AWS during a major rebrand. A technology generalist who values developer experience, he empowers teams through automation, advocacy, and clear, technically informed planning. Lately he’s been exploring Rust and its implications for long-term developer productivity. Outside work he knits, enjoys live musicals and travel, and plays ball with his Aussiedoodle Obi — a reminder that his curiosity and attention to craft extend beyond code.
