Eric Brown is a versatile full-stack and embedded systems engineer with eight years of experience spanning C/C++ server and gameplay engines, Qt/QML desktop interfaces, and backend databases including MySQL, PostgreSQL and MongoDB. As founder of Nyteowl he pairs hands-on development with digital marketing and growth analytics, deploying SEO/PPC campaigns and conversion tracking to help startups scale. He has built secure web and server environments—implementing rate limiting, CORS, SSL websockets, IDS/firewall policies and automated incident response—while also authoring tools that integrate game account automation with robust database backends. At Defense Distributed he converted Python libraries to C++ and implemented ZeroMQ messaging for cross-platform desktop tools, demonstrating deep systems-level and cross-language integration skills. His background in PCB manufacturing and hardware testing informs pragmatic embedded firmware and driver work, and he routinely uses GitHub, CI (GitHub Actions) and unit testing (GTest/QTest) to maintain quality across projects. Based in the Austin area, Eric blends security operations leadership with a rare combination of embedded hardware know-how and full-stack software craftsmanship.
