Background

About Brandon Cheong

Engineer. Educator. Sleep-deprived full-stack security enthusiast. Runs on Python, JavaScript, coffee/boba with no sugar, and adrenaline-fueled deadlines. I exist somewhere between building full-stack apps with React, Next.js, Flask, and MongoDB, teaching cryptography to students who didn’t sign up for this, and rewriting entire backends at 3AM because the indentation felt wrong. Been around long enough to know that firewalls break, regex lies, and nothing good happens after a git push -force—but sometimes you just have to. Over the years, I’ve shipped APIs, taught cybersecurity and robotics for a few programmes, debugged problems that defy logic, and occasionally carried group projects harder than my back was ready for. I’ve also worn the presales engineer hat—translating complex technical solutions into words humans can understand (and somehow agree to pay for). Stacks I vibe with: Python, JavaScript, React, Node.js, Flask, Next.js, PostgreSQL, MongoDB, Bash, PHP, and the occasional Wireshark, Burp Suite, or “why-is-this-port-open” moment. Currently hunting for roles in software engineering, cybersecurity, technical product management, or anywhere that lets me build cool things, explain weird things, and break boring things. If you’re assembling a team and need someone who can code, teach, troubleshoot, pitch, and survive off questionable caffeine habits—congrats, you just found your wildcard.
