Hello, my name's Brandon McQueen.

I craft platforms that delightusers and solve hard problems

I'm a software engineer from Charlotte, NC with 15+ years building across SaaS, ecommerce, connected hardware, and AI. I was one of the first two Staff Engineers at Sleepme, where I designed the identity and subscription platform behind the sleep.me relaunch. Before that I led the commerce rebuild at Primo that took revenue from $1.1M to $12M+, and I ran infrastructure for The Points Guy from starting on a single VPS to 12M monthly users.

I've spent my career going deep on whatever layer the problem needed, from Cognito and Go APIs to Nuxt frontends and Terraform, usually because I was the one who had to. That range is what I bring to a team: I can see the whole system and I don't need someone else to own the seams.

When I'm not in a codebase I'm probably drinking too much coffee or wandering through a forest with my camera. I'm currently open to full-time senior and staff roles, and to the right consulting work. Say hello.
