Summary
Brent Smith is a seasoned software engineering leader with 13 years of experience building and modernizing systems for enterprises and small businesses alike. As Head of Software Engineering and founder of consulting firms, he specializes in .NET and React, architecting cloud-native solutions (notably an Azure Service Fabric migration for a mission-critical data app). He has a strong track record of introducing engineering best practices—git, CI/CD, code reviews, unit testing, monitoring with Grafana/Prometheus—and building teams that reduce maintenance overhead and accelerate feature delivery. His background includes embedded C++ work at Garmin where he shipped integrations with Pandora and Spotify, created productivity tooling, and drove cultural change through developer communities.

Based in Raymore, Missouri, he combines enterprise-grade discipline with practical, hands-on implementation for clients that need architecture-level help without hiring full-time.
