Brandon Riggione

I am a software developer focused on backend engineering, API development, and improving system efficiency. I bring practical internship experience where I learned Ruby on Rails quickly and delivered production improvements.

During a summer internship I migrated background jobs from Kafka to Sidekiq, optimized a public-facing API, and implemented client indexing to improve usability. I also developed a dynamic algorithm to manage event and keyword name changes while preserving historical data integrity.

Outside of engineering, I led a successful GoFundMe campaign raising $11,000 for a spinal muscular atrophy charity through video production, marketing, and campaign management. I balance strong technical work with leadership and community involvement.

I play Division I lacrosse and have consistently earned academic honors, demonstrating discipline, teamwork, and a capacity to perform under pressure. I seek backend engineering roles where I can continue optimizing systems and contributing to scalable product development.
