About Me

Hi, I’m Brandon Pereira — I am passionate and skilled in developing modern web applications. With proven experience in building production-grade, scalable software from scratch for multiple clients. I excel in team hiring, resourcing, and overseeing application timelines and budgets. As a career developer and leader of teams of up to 15 developers, I have successfully launched multiple large-scale web applications in the past year. I am also active in the development community through volunteering, meetups, and open-source contributions.

Professional Journey

With a career spanning several years, I’ve not only led teams of engineers but also overseen projects from inception to completion, effectively managing technical debt, infrastructure, and documentation. Additionally, I’m well-versed in the intricacies of technical hiring, onboarding, and offboarding.

I’m a proud graduate with honors from the Southern Alberta Institute of Technology (SAIT), and my journey in programming began in 2006. As a Canadian citizen, I’m currently dedicated to my role as a Senior Software Engineer at ClickHouse, where I’m instrumental in driving technical excellence.

Beyond my professional pursuits, I’m deeply involved in the tech community. You’ll find me contributing to open-source projects on GitHub, volunteering at the Calgary Public Libraries Coder Dojo program, and actively participating in web and software development meetups.

Personal Insights

On a personal note, I’m happily married to my wife Emma. Together, we share our home with Astro, an aptly named dog inspired by my passion for software development. Our feline friend, Moomies, is a cherished rescue. We call the vibrant city of Calgary, Alberta, our home.

Beyond the screen, I find joy in woodwork, gaming, hiking, skiing, pedal biking, and exploring personal finance strategies. I believe in a holistic approach to life, where professional growth and personal interests come together seamlessly.

Projects

A showcase of my past, present, and future

Wreno: AI APIs

Led development of AI-powered APIs at Wreno for document reading and verification. Built a scalable, type-safe platform that cut manual reviews by 90% and achieved 99.9% uptime across services.

Portfolio v4

Redesigned my portfolio with Astro framework for speed, SEO, and aesthetics. Markdown files and dynamic views enhance UX. Astro's static generation and asset optimization shine. Named after our dog Astro, it's a perfect fit.

AirBnB: Design System Migration

We won Airbnb as a client and I lead the charge on getting our engineers into their systems. I gained a ton of experience in client relations as well as working in an extremely large codebase.

Wedding Photobooth

I challenged myself by building an entire photo booth solution for my wedding. The booth creates a photo strip using photos from our DLSR, prints the result automatically, and uploads them to the web leveraging Tensorflow for Facial Recognition.

Nissan/Infiniti Shopping Tools

We were tasked with rebuilding the Nissan and Infiniti shopping tools applications. This was my first major project with the role of Technology Lead.

Wreno: Wylie Bot

Developed Wylie, an AI bot for property managers, using NodeJS, TypeScript, React, and OpenAI's ChatGPT-4o. Improved response times from 2 minutes to 1-2 seconds with RAG and performance optimizations.
