Top SchoolBren Paul is a software engineer with four years of hands-on experience building products across startups and academic open-source programs, currently engineering at Mach Industries in the Los Angeles area.

As founding president of an engineering innovation society and former lead developer at a university open-source center, he brings leadership experience in coordinating cross-disciplinary teams and shipping real-world systems.
