About Me

Backend Developer in Go focused on scalable, real-time systems. Built modular Twitch bot libraries and production bots that process chat and events concurrently. I prioritize clean interfaces, event-driven design, and programmatic persistence to deliver maintainable, production-ready systems. Committed to lifelong learning and going the extra mile to facilitate continuous improvement.

I recently earned my Bachelor of Science in Information Systems & Technology from Temple University, where I was introduced to software development through C#, Windows Forms, and full-stack web applications using ASPX and ASP.NET Core MVC. Currently I am enrolled in Boot.Dev learning backend development with Go.

I’m currently looking for opportunities to grow as a back-end developer and contribute to impactful projects. If you think we'd be a good fit, feel free to reach out: contact@brandonwhited.dev .
