Brian Mickel is a software engineer with nine years of experience building full-stack and distributed systems for startups and large platforms, currently at Struction in Oregon. He has shipped work across Java, Go, TypeScript, Ruby on Rails, and cloud-native tooling (Kubernetes, GCP, AWS), most recently improving reporting and order-data flow at Square. His background blends engineering with real-world service: he volunteered as a Conservation Corps crew member, gaining wilderness first aid and chainsaw certifications while supporting Indigenous families with winter firewood. Comfortable across frontend and backend stacks, he has a track record of accelerating contractor payroll and project workflows at Miter and improving education software at Derivita. A UC Berkeley civil and environmental engineering graduate, Brian pairs analytical rigor with hands-on problem solving and a habit of moving between code, data, and the field. Unusually, he alternates stints of software work with immersive conservation service, which informs his practical, user-centered approach to building reliable systems.
