Data/Backend/Agentic AI engineer for the past ten years (Java, Python, SQL). Experience building data platforms (from scratch!) and ELT pipelines for financial data. Currently working on agentic AI projects, but happy to work at any level for any problem that needs solving.

Open to work on product management, solutions architecture, agentic AI or customer engineering. Remote is preferred for time zones spanning Europe to India; onsite/hybrid in Mumbai is also great. Unfortunately cannot relocate.

Open primarily to freelance/consulting roles, but full-time roles will also be considered if we're a good fit.

  Location: Oklahoma City, OK
  Remote: Yes (US business hours)
  Willing to relocate: No
  Technologies: AWS (multi-account, Control Tower), Terraform, HashiCorp Vault/Nomad/Consul, Go, Python, TypeScript, EKS, GitLab CI/CD, OpenTelemetry/ADOT, LGTM observability, Kafka, PostgreSQL, PagerDuty
  Résumé/CV:  https://couchcryptid.github.io/
  Email: brendanvinson@icloud.com
20 years engineering total, last 5 dedicated to platform/cloud at a regulated bank, leading the replatform of a contractor-built AWS multi-account into FFIEC/GLBA-compliant standards-based architecture. Stood up federated HashiCorp orchestration (Vault Enterprise, Nomad, Consul), GitLab Enterprise from inception, LGTM/OpenTelemetry observability instrumenting Java/Spring Boot services, and developer tooling distributed via a private Homebrew tap.

Most interested in observability platforms, data infrastructure, and AI engineering broadly — anywhere AI is sharpening human judgment rather than displacing it. Currently building out infrastructure tooling in Go using agentic workflows (Claude Code).

Works across the stack — each layer has its own problems worth solving. Publishes on engineering decision frameworks and AI-augmented development workflows.

Pursuing CKA. Not interested in defense, crypto, or gambling.

I am a Full-Stack Engineer focused on building high-performance, security-first systems engineered for longevity. My recent builds consistently achieve a 100 Performance score on Google PageSpeed Insights. Every project I deliver will have 89+ on all pagespeed metrics, no matter what.

I specialize in end-to-end infrastructure (Website + Dashboard + Backend). I also offer security audits, and bumping your pagespeed scores without sacrificing quality. I offer complex Shopify logic too. I prioritize a "No-Call" workflow. I provide a written plan of action and deliver the code, allowing you to focus on your business without meeting fatigue.
