Brandon Stiles

Software Engineer & Product Demo Specialist

I'm a Senior Software Engineer turned Sales Engineer. After six years building products in healthtech and fintech, I discovered my real edge: simplifying complexity for people.

From leading internal demos at Talkiatry, to joining live customer calls at FloQast, to growing a 100k-revenue entertainment business, I've always thrived at the intersection of technology and trust.

Today, I help technical and non-technical teams see the 'aha' moment faster.

About Me

I'm a software engineer who thrives at the intersection of technology and communication. With 6 years of experience building scalable backend systems at healthtech and fintech startups, I've led engineering initiatives that launched high-impact features used by millions.

What sets me apart is my ability to present live demos to stakeholders, translate complex technical concepts for cross-functional teams, and drive alignment that accelerates product adoption. I love roles that blend technical expertise with business impact.

Whether it's architecting systems, presenting to leadership, or mentoring engineers - I bring clarity, curiosity, and a few terrible (but proven) jokes to a project.
