Rockstar🎓
Top SchoolBrandon Ringe is a Senior Software Engineering Manager based in Portland with a decade of experience building resilient, event-driven systems and leading cross-functional engineering teams in fintech. He combines hands-on Clojure expertise with cloud-native platforms (GCP, Kubernetes) and streaming architectures (Kafka) to deliver reliable data, risk, and growth infrastructure. As a co-maintainer of Calva and an active contributor to clojure-lsp, he’s recognized in the Clojure community and has been sponsored and funded for open-source work that produced a Clojure expression-based debugger and static analysis features. Brandon has co-founded and scaled product-focused engineering organizations, using event modeling to align stakeholders and reduce delivery risk. He brings a practical blend of technical depth, developer tooling advocacy, and operational rigor—an engineer-manager who still ships critical code and infrastructure himself.
