Brandur
Summary
🤩
RockstarBrandur Leach is a software engineer with 14 years of experience, currently engineering at CrunchyData and previously at Heroku and Stripe. He focuses on back-end systems, APIs, and developer tooling, and is a prolific open-source contributor to projects like prmd, committee, stripe-mock and multiple Stripe client libraries across Ruby, Go, Java, C#, PHP, Python and Node. His work spans schema-driven validation and mocking, release/version management, and reliability features such as rate limiting and a Redis-based rate limiter implemented as a Rust module. Equally at home improving developer UX and the build/release surface, he pairs pragmatic engineering with a taste for terminal productivity — and for running and metal in his off hours.
