Brandon Lent

"Congratulations to Brandon on the successful launch to production. He managed feature flags and monitored logs and dashboards. He walked stakeholders through Cloudwatch queries and Splunk logs, which helped them follow along and built trust and confidence in our work and skills. This demonstrates delivering more than technology."

"Brandon recently created a tech spec and process to enable the NJ project to run large-scale data migrations decoupled from the deployment cycle. This work was something we'd wanted to do for awhile - one of those tickets that kept getting punted down the road. Brandon took the initiative to take ownership of the work and designed a solution where we can leverage temporal to batch migrations. This work ended up being incredibly timely as we had an incident that really demonstrated the importance of the work. More importantly, the thing I want to spotlight is that Brandon also created a really detailed template for an operational runbook. I don't think every engineer would put so much care and attention to detail into the process side. Today I began to draft a runbook (the first user of Brandon's template) and I was really impressed. Brandon's work here really exemplifies the ways Brandon is a force multiplier, both creating the initial tech spec AND going above and beyond to validate, collaborate, and make jumping into leverage the orchestration Brandon created as seamless for engineers on other teams. Thank you Brandon!"

"Brandon has been doing a fantastic job on the data team. Not only does he do great work on moving everything forward but he has also spearheaded new milestones. He creates detailed and well-formed tickets with clear ordering. I appreciate his eye for detail and his conscientious efforts."

"Brandon recently facilitated a kick-off presentation for our team that was engaging, funny, and extremely clear. The presentation was regarding some of our recent work to reconfigure and further automate a data pipeline. Brandon made this work easy to understand. Thank you, Brandon, for your clear thinking and excellent communication skills."

"I have really enjoyed working with Brandon on the appeals-related projects. He communicates clearly and uses collaboration tools well to work transparently. He is equally able to dive into research spikes and implementation tasks. Whenever an issue has come up, Brandon has been quick to spring into action and pivot as needed to address things quickly."

"Brandon is a talented developer and motivated worker. He consistently and eagerly assigned himself to challenging tasks. Brandon was a pleasure to work with due to his calm and collected demeanor, which I appreciated during our fast-paced, ambitious sprints. When presenting progress to stakeholders, he was well-spoken and thorough."

"Brandon and I have worked on several full stack applications together and I can confidently say his skills are critical to our team's success. He often took leadership and spearheaded research and development of core features. As an avid learner, he is always reading, practicing, and sharing cutting edge technologies with those around him."

"Brandon helped solve a very tricky bug affecting users. This was a high profile, complex problem requiring cross-team collaboration and out-of-the-box thinking. His approach will be a model for how we solve future problems on projects of this size and complexity."

"Brandon helped summarize the updates from Next.js Conf, helping the broader frontend community stay up to date with the latest updates so that projects can anticipate and take advantage of new features."
