Brandon is an incredible asset to have on the team. His knowledge and understanding of web-based technologies amazed me every day. Brandon was my VP of Engineering while I was employed at Bright Health and there wasn't a day where I doubted any of his decisions or his leadership. I always put great trust in him. He is also a great person, which makes work and interact with him all the more enjoyable.
