Summary
Brett Sanders is a Senior Software Engineer based in San Francisco with 11 years of experience building scalable web and mobile applications using JavaScript and TypeScript across React, React Native, GraphQL, and Node.js. He has a strong background in system design, CI/CD, testing, and applied data structures and algorithms, and has moved between hands-on engineering and management roles at HOVER before focusing on senior engineering work at Disney Streaming.
