Top SchoolMichael Brunson is a Staff Software Engineer with 11 years of experience building and leading teams to deliver production-grade operating system and device update systems at Google, currently focused on migrating Nest Hub devices to Fuchsia while preserving user data. He combines deep systems and embedded expertise—Rust, C/C++, Android/Fuchsia, boot images and flash layers—with web and backend skills (C#, Node, React) to span the full stack of device update, recovery, and manufacturing tooling. As a tech lead he has repeatedly taken prototypes into deployed OTA updates and factory recovery flows, and has authored core libraries and APIs used across platforms. A strong planner-turned-designer, he moved from ad-hoc coding to disciplined architecture early in his career and mentors teams on reliable rollout strategies. Based in South Carolina, he brings an engineer’s curiosity (start tinkering with hardware as a child) plus a top GPA in Computer Engineering from the University of South Carolina.
