Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolJohn Bragg is a founder and seasoned software engineer with 13 years of hands-on experience building full-stack, cloud-native systems from the ground up. Based in Portland, he has repeatedly led technical direction—from co-founding Cozy and Seabright to modernizing legacy products at Opal and serving as the first hire at Arch, where he architected infrastructure, deployment pipelines, and core domain engines. He specializes in elegant, deceptively simple code and pragmatic systems: custom DB migration tools, hot-reloading local Kubernetes development with Garden, and Node/TypeScript backends paired with SQL-driven logic and asynchronous job processing. His product work spans consumer portals, drone-based 3D mapping, and HVAC estimation engines, showing a rare mix of frontend polish and deep backend infrastructure. Notably, he designs for deployability and developer autonomy—enabling any engineer to deploy to production in minutes—and treats architecture as a product that speeds teams, not just features.
