Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolBrandon Willis is a Senior Software Engineer based in Los Angeles with 10 years of full-stack experience building user-focused web applications using React/Redux, Node/Express, MySQL and MongoDB. He has progressed from front-end specialist roles to senior engineering at Ruggable, delivering reusable component libraries, performance optimizations, and resilient server-side protections. At iHerb he reduced API response times by up to 60% and implemented audit logging and anti-DDoS measures, demonstrating a blend of pragmatic engineering and product-minded thinking. A Hack Reactor graduate with a BA in Psychology, he combines creative problem solving and attention to human-centered design—he likens coding to “painting a math problem”—and brings that curiosity to side projects and everyday team collaboration. Outside work he’s an avid skateboarder and tennis player who fuels long coding sessions with strong coffee, which helps explain his steady output and iterative tinkering.
