Hi, I’m Brandon Cook, a solutions-focused engineer and project manager who loves turning complex requirements into reliable software. I thrive in Agile teams, leading cross-functional efforts as a full-stack developer and PM to deliver value-driven products. Based in Tokyo, I enjoy building bilingual interfaces, mentoring teammates, and collaborating with clients to align technical solutions with business goals. When I’m not coding, I mentor peers and contribute to backlogs, user stories, and process improvements.
