Rockstar🎓
Top SchoolKeegan Brown is a Principal Software Engineer with 11 years of experience building and leading teams that deliver scalable web and serverless systems from New Orleans. He blends hands-on expertise in Node.js, modern JavaScript, React, containerized/serverless architecture, and NoSQL with a track record of technical leadership at companies like DAT Freight & Analytics, InVision, and GE Power. Keegan moves between deep implementation (C++ bindings and DevOps for node-opencv) and product-facing front-end work (contributions to OwlCarousel2), showing comfort across the full stack and in legacy-to-modern migrations. He’s led squads through OKR-driven projects, owning stability, observability, and agile execution, while also acting as CTO and director-level technical lead earlier in his career. An obsessive learner and practical optimizer, he pairs interests in functional programming and ML with a disciplined off-duty life—black belt martial arts training, daily meditation, and outdoor fitness—that informs his calm, focused approach to complex problems.
