Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolDavid Brandt is a pragmatic back end developer with 11+ years building and scaling complex distributed systems across game, cloud and enterprise domains. He has led blockchain and infrastructure efforts for CCP’s AAA EVE Frontier project and driven resilient infrastructure work at Asana, combining deep systems engineering with hands-on coding in TypeScript, Python and a long-standing affinity for JavaScript. Comfortable across AWS, Docker, Linux and CI/CD ecosystems, he favors testable, readable code, elegant test suites, and pragmatic tool choices tailored to team and organizational context. His background spans low-level C/C++ and networked systems to modern EVM-compatible blockchain stacks, giving him a rare blend of legacy and cutting-edge infrastructure experience. Based in Reykjavík, he values culture, fairness and strong engineering management practices alongside technical excellence. An avid student of graphs and system abstractions, he often approaches problems by modeling their structural behavior rather than just treating symptoms.
