Brandon Calderon Morales
Engineer. Marine veteran. Omaha, Nebraska. English and Spanish.
I pull at a log line like a loose thread until the whole knot makes sense. I wanted to work with computers before I knew it was a job. Somewhere along the way, the Marines gave me court-reporter typing speed. Engineering gave me somewhere to put it.
I like small tools, clear explanations, and teaching whoever is next to me. If I figure something out, I want the next person to have an easier time of it.
The day job
I lead technical delivery: helping engineering teams untangle security findings, see how their systems are doing, and make shipping less painful. A lot of that work is getting people and tools to make sense to each other.
Lately
- Family time — my wife, our two kids, and the extended fam
- Building little terminal tools with AI
- Kaggle and undergrad at night. Still a student.
Been around
Nebraska is home. I've taken the long way around: across the States, over to Spain, Germany, and Gibraltar, and back to the Midwest.
Building
- terminal-jarvis — one place to run my coding agents
- agent-harness — learning how coding agents work by building one in Go
- Cheat sheets for Codex, Kimi, and OpenCode — what I learn, written down
