@brianwisti
Senior software engineer focused on APIs, automation, and reliable infrastructure at scale.
What I'm looking for
I am a senior software engineer with extensive experience building APIs, microservices, and automation tools across cloud and on-prem environments. I specialize in backend development, infrastructure engineering, and process automation, and I bring hands-on experience with Linux and AWS.
Throughout my career I have delivered measurable improvements: I automated on-call data management tasks to reduce completion time from hours to minutes, built internal tools for hyperscaler GPU deployment, and created REST and GraphQL APIs and dashboards to improve operational visibility and scriptability.
I value pragmatic engineering that helps teams move faster and operate more reliably. I enjoy collaborating with operations and product teams to design systems that are maintainable, secure, and well-automated.
