Brett Meyer
Hello! I'm a technologist that loves people, solving problems, and helping make others' ambitious visions a reality. I gained a wide breadth of software engineering and management experience in multiple industries, including roles at Twilio, Disney, Red Hat, Raytheon, NBC Universal, and regional companies. And now, my passion is applying that experience in a variety of ecosystems. My primary specialties: backend and fullstack software engineering, library/framework building, optimization, APIs, integration and automation, all things RDBMS and SQL, and data intensive applications.
I'm the founder and technical lead of Impact Upgrade, a software development and data company that partners with nonprofits and people-serving businesses. We provide tech-for-humans, making the complex simple so organizations can focus on impact.
I'm also the tech director at NeighborLink. I serve Fort Wayne, oversee all technology, and am re-imagining the web platform as a national ecosystem to bridge the gap between the vulnerable and neighbors.
I'd love to connect!
