Senior🎓
Top SchoolBrian Shamblen is a Senior Full Stack Engineer with 25 years of software experience and over a decade in modern full-stack roles, currently driving engineering at Nitro from Porto, Portugal. He combines deep backend expertise—architecting enterprise databases, payment and billing systems, and state integrations like California’s METRC—with polished front-end work building complex UIs and responsive eCommerce flows. As a co-founder of startups and product teams, he’s worn many hats from ops and AWS hosting to sales support, which gives him a pragmatic product-minded approach to engineering. He contributed to the high-profile swagger-codegen project, improving multi-language client examples and security-aware templates for generated APIs. Known for shipping reliable systems quickly, he specializes in turning messy, cross-domain requirements into maintainable, auditable solutions. Beyond code, he brings uncommon domain breadth—spanning real estate CRMs to regulated cannabis supply chains—so he anticipates operational and compliance pitfalls early.
