Summary
Brandon Wong is a software engineer with 11 years of experience building scalable backend services and automations across startups and large enterprises from California. He has driven high-throughput event pipelines, identity systems, and caching strategies—most recently improving recommendation latency and processing millions of events per day at Disco and now contributing at TikTok. Comfortable leading small teams, he introduced GraphQL tooling, migration plans, and observability dashboards at Intuit to reduce incidents and accelerate development. His background ranges from low-level C diagnostics at Seagate to full-stack Node services and testing frameworks, showing a rare blend of systems-level debugging and product-focused engineering. Brandon favors autonomy and iterative TDD-driven delivery, and often surfaces non-obvious gains by automating manual processes (e.g., auto-approvals that recovered 30% of inventory availability).
