Hi everyone I recently completed my current projects and I’m now open to new opportunities. I’m interested in connecting with developers building in backend, SaaS, AI, or automation, and I’m always open to exchanging ideas with people working in similar areas. If you’re interested in a technical session, mentorship, collaboration, or discussing a project, feel free to reach out. Happy to connect.

What’s up everyone, Brandon here. I’ve been showing up on the 5pm calls consistently, listening more than talking, and getting a lot of value from the conversations here. Figured it was time to introduce myself the right way. What I HAVE I’ve been in finance and business since 1996, so just over 30 years now. Most of that time has been spent building behind the scenes. I tend to stay out of the spotlight and focus on creating systems that actually produce. Over the years I’ve: - Built and managed high intent traffic in regulated spaces where trust matters - Created lead generation ecosystems that turn attention into real conversations and revenue - Worked closely with operators and sales teams to make sure what gets generated actually closes - Learned how to navigate compliance, scale, and real world execution without cutting corners A lot of what I do is not visible on the surface. I’ve always been more focused on building the machine than being the face of it. Outside of work, I’ve spent years living abroad in Southeast Asia, traveling, training martial arts, working out, hiking, and pushing myself in different ways. I even spent a period of time paragliding and jumping off cliffs, which probably says a lot about how I approach risk and growth. What I WANT At this stage, I’m looking for clarity and better leverage. I’ve spent a long time building for others and inside other people’s structures. It taught me a lot, but it also showed me where the limits are. Now I’m focused on: - Owning more of what I build - Creating structures that compound instead of reset - Building partnerships that are aligned long term, not just transactional I want to be around people who are actually in it, solving real problems, and building real businesses. What I NEED Two things I’m actively working through: 1. Positioning at the next level. Figuring out what stays, what consolidates, and what becomes the next version of everything I’ve built. 2. Smarter leverage decisions.

This is to help anyone that has lost hope in business and is at their lowest. Getting started with my business - Ecom wasn’t all that rosy. I was frustrated severally. In fact I took a break for a while after wasting a lot of money ranking up credit card bills going several thousands. But deep down I know this works. Finding how the right method to approach Ecom is what changed everything. I gradually started seeing progress $1k then $6k. In 2024 we ended up doing over $180k. - 1st slide I remembered then I prayed to just do $50k Then 2025 came I wasn’t able to really focus on Ecom that much as I was heavy with our little one. But the system and method I put in place kept bringing in sales even though it wasn’t at much. About a month ago or more, after having our little one I decided to start another store to put this system to work again. (I probably shred my progress after a week haha) we did over $1k with that new store. Here we are hitting over $9k a week. Cheers to more 🎉 Here is me just sharing my progress. And building in public. Let me know if you need a few pointers though, I was also once stuck.

Who speaks for those whose lived experience has been named as irrelevant? I'm not here to make things easier to hear. I'm here to make things visible, especially the parts we've normalized that quietly disconnect us from ourselves and each other. To distill what matters down to its essence. To remember what the collective has felt but couldn't yet name. To speak it plainly. A lot of harm today is psychological. It's not loud or obvious, but patterned. Psychological violence is built into how we communicate, how we relate, and how we dismiss what we don't immediately understand. Because it's subtle, it goes unnamed until someone says it plainly, and that's the work I do. My work is to give language to what people are already feeling and haven't yet been able to say. When something difficult is not being said, I often surface it in service of those who feel seen by it. Those who feel unsafe to voice their lived experience when someone dismisses it as irrelevant, unimportant, or even wrong. I give voice to it. Because once you see it, you can't unsee it.
