Summary
Brandon Strittmatter is a product leader with eight years of experience designing and shipping developer- and data-facing tools, currently working on database products at Cloudflare after the acquisition of his startup. As co-founder and CEO of Outerbase (YC W23), he built a modern interface for querying, visualizing, and sharing data, blending product vision with hands-on design and engineering sensibilities. Previously he shaped core developer experiences at DigitalOcean—helping design App Platform, Serverless, and managed databases—and led UX at startups and agencies for both consumer brands and cloud-native tooling. He has a strong background in end-to-end UX, product strategy, and go-to-market thinking, and is comfortable moving between pixel-level interactions and systems thinking. Based in Pittsburgh, he pairs founder grit with a designer’s attention to craft, often focusing on making complex database workflows feel delightfully simple.
