About Brandon Wilburn

I'm Brandon Wilburn—founder of TechieBrandon.com, technology executive, platform strategist, and advocate for engineering excellence. This site is a reflection of over 15 years of building and scaling technology organizations, driving innovation, and helping others make the leap from technical contributor to transformative leader.

From Code to Company Strategy

My career began in deeply technical roles at IBM, Neohapsis, and Trendium, sharpening my skills in software implementation, delivery, and architecture. But what truly set the course for my career was a growing passion for the intersection of technology and business strategy. That shift led to leadership positions at Viavi Solutions and Spirent Communications—organizations where I've helped deliver hundreds of millions in customer value, architected transformative product platforms, and drove new product introductions in the enterprise environment.

A Leader Who Builds, Not Just Manages

I believe in leading from the front—whether that's launching an internal innovation lab with a $5M budget, coaching teams through business case validation, or building platform engineering practices in complex, secure environments. At Spirent, I've supported engineers in conflict zones, guided customers through acquisition-impacted roadmaps, and driven major wins in customer satisfaction and revenue growth.
