Summary
Evan Bruns is a presales and solutions engineer with a decade of hands-on software experience, melding Java, web development, and data skills with strong customer-facing and Agile delivery experience. He has driven implementations and go-live support for complex insurance and utility systems, including large-scale rating algorithms and SSO integrations, and progressed rapidly at Guidewire from implementation roles to senior field consultant responsibilities. Based in San Jose, Evan has translated deep technical work into clear product value across vendors like UiPath, Kognitos, and now Faros, bridging engineering and sales to accelerate customer outcomes. His background in computer science and mathematics from Grinnell College and early cross-disciplinary work (from mobile energy apps to R visualizations) gives him a practical bent for turning research and data into usable features. Notably, he combines configuration-level coding (Java, JavaScript, VTL) with real-time production support—making him equally comfortable shipping code and guiding customers through complex technical decisions.
