Summary
Brendan Higgins is a Staff Engineer in New York with 13 years of cross-disciplinary experience building production software and engineering systems. He climbed through engineering and technical lead roles at Aledade, driving product and team delivery while translating clinical and operational needs into reliable software. Brendan’s background is unusually broad: a Cornell mechanical engineering degree, a BU master’s, hands-on jet engine hardware redesigns at GE that saved thousands per engine, and a software bootcamp that pivoted him into full-time software engineering. He brings a pragmatic blend of data-driven machine learning experimentation, backend/frontend delivery, and hardware-rooted systems thinking to complex problems. Colleagues rely on him to bridge domain expertise and software craftsmanship, especially where safety, cost-savings, and operational robustness intersect.
