Summary
Mike Brant is a Senior Software Engineer with 13 years of experience architecting cloud-native, serverless, and event-driven platforms, currently building a multi-tenant engagement and ticketing system for the government sector. He excels at decomposing monoliths into domain-bound services, having led authentication/authorization, GraphQL facade, and data ingestion redesigns that improved scalability and operational maturity. Comfortable across backend stacks (Node.js, TypeScript, Python), databases (Dynamo, Postgres, Elasticsearch, Snowflake) and infra-as-code tooling, he pairs hands-on development with platform-level thinking. Mike has a strong track record of driving engineering culture change—introducing design review cadence, test frameworks, and CI/CD practices—and has stepped into interim CTO responsibilities when needed. Based in Dallas, he brings a pragmatic focus on observable, resilient systems and has repeatedly translated logistics and SaaS domain complexity into maintainable, deployable architectures. An architectural engineer by training, he combines structural problem-solving with deep operational instincts.
