Amanda Brindle

@amandabrindle

Senior full‑stack software engineer specializing in scalable systems and LLM integrations.

What I'm looking for

I seek senior engineering roles building scalable web and data pipelines, working with LLMs, TDD practices, and mentoring teams in a collaborative, growth‑oriented environment.

I am a Senior Full‑Stack Software Engineer with a B.S. in Computer Science and Engineering from the University of California, Davis, and several years building production web applications and backend systems. I design and implement scalable pipelines, REST/GraphQL APIs, and user‑facing features using modern stacks including React/TypeScript, Python (Django/Flask), Go, and cloud services.

At Kiddom I built Dagster pipelines to import curriculum using LLM prompts, optimized prompting to halve response times and improve accuracy by 50%, and implemented asynchronous job processors that reduced manual work by 75%. I have a strong testing and TDD mindset, improved test coverage and runtime in past roles, and authored technical specs and documentation to align distributed teams.

I enjoy mentoring engineers, teaching prompt engineering and robust coding practices, and delivering accessible, performant products that scale across teams. I focus on maintainable implementations, measurable performance gains, and clear technical communication.
