Brainhub

Full Stack JavaScript Developer
Back to supporting proof

Agency and product delivery across multiple international builds, with growing technical leadership, full-stack ownership, and infrastructure responsibility.

Multiple products, one delivery standard

Brainhub was where I built depth by shipping across several products instead of one domain. That meant adapting quickly, gathering technical requirements with stakeholders, and owning frontend execution in different contexts.

The work ranged from product surfaces to internal platforms, always with an emphasis on delivery quality instead of just velocity.

Broader engineering ownership

The role moved beyond frontend implementation into full-stack and platform responsibility. I worked with GitLab CI, AWS EC2 and ECS, autoscaling, performance tests, and production-facing integrations like Paddle and Segment.

That broadened the definition of quality for me: good UI is not enough if the delivery system behind it is weak.

Leadership signals

This was also the period where technical leadership became a visible part of my work. I ran discovery with stakeholders, mentored teammates, took part in SCRUM ceremonies, and helped keep engineering decisions legible to the rest of the team.

A lot of the product-minded behavior I now bring into AI work was reinforced here first.

Highlights

  • Led frontend development across 5+ international projects with direct stakeholder collaboration.
  • Shipped a macOS desktop app that launched on Product Hunt and helped build Brainhub's company website and handbook library.
  • Owned delivery concerns beyond UI, including GitLab CI, AWS EC2/ECS, autoscaling, and integrations like Paddle and Segment.
  • Took on team-lead style work through discovery, mentoring, process, and SCRUM facilitation.
