Summary
👤
SeniorBrendan Horan is a hardware-rooted technology leader with 12+ years of experience designing resilient infrastructure and secure systems, currently heading Research and Development at Super Unlimited and running PrivacyPicket to bring enterprise-grade security to smaller organisations. His career spans deep, hands-on work across diverse architectures (PA-RISC, SPARC, POWER, ALPHA/IA64 and x86 Linux) and building data centers globally, giving him a pragmatic "right tool for the job" approach to systems design. At ExpressVPN he led the TrustedServer program and infrastructure consolidation efforts that dramatically accelerated release cadence and hardened zero-trust security at scale. Brendan blends low-level curiosity—FPGA, microcontrollers and Nixie tubes—with modern software practices like IaC, TPM-backed key management and meaningful test-driven design. He’s equally comfortable mentoring engineers and writing operational tooling, and he applies his hobbyist air-quality and hardware projects to inform practical sensor-driven solutions.
