Hi there! 👋
I’m Brandon, a Senior Software Engineer at Newton, building distributed systems and backend infrastructure for one of Canada’s leading regulated digital asset trading platforms.
Over the past 8+ years I’ve built software across visual effects, SaaS, and fintech. I’ve worked on production pipeline systems at Industrial Light & Magic (The Walt Disney Company) and Framestore, multi-tenant SaaS platforms at ScalePad, and now trading infrastructure at Newton. Each role has reinforced the same principles: build reliable systems, automate repetitive work, and keep complexity under control.
🚀 What I work on
I enjoy building software that solves practical problems and continues to scale as products and teams grow.
These days my work focuses on:
- Distributed backend systems
- Platform engineering
- Cloud infrastructure (AWS)
- APIs and microservices
- Data platforms and PostgreSQL
- Full-stack applications with Next.js, NestJS, and TypeScript
Most of my time is spent designing production systems that are reliable, observable, and easy for other engineers to work with.
A little about me
Over the past 8+ years I’ve worked across fintech, SaaS, and visual effects, building everything from trading infrastructure and regulatory reporting systems to data platforms and studio production tooling.
I enjoy learning new technologies, improving developer workflows, and finding simpler solutions to complex engineering problems.
