Senior🎓
Top SchoolBrendan Chou is an engineer with 14 years of experience building reliable, high-performance systems across finance, cloud infrastructure, and decentralized exchanges. He played foundational engineering roles at dYdX—rising from early employee to Chief Architect and briefly Head of Engineering—after earlier stints as an SRE at Google and a financial software engineer at Bloomberg. Now based in New York and currently at Commonware, he focuses on pragmatic architecture and shipping production-grade systems that scale. Brendan combines deep systems insight from storage and SRE work with product-minded leadership in crypto trading infrastructure, and he brings a pragmatic optimism about technology’s ability to do social good. An understated but telling detail: his GitHub bio wryly nods to internet anonymity, hinting at a playful, curious engineer beneath the technical rigor.
