About Brandon
I am Brandon Werner, a software engineer in Seattle, WA. I work for Microsoft as a Program Manager in their BPOS Engineering Core (R&D) division helping build cloud computing solutions for customers around the world. A transplant from Cincinnati, OH, I miss Goetta and good beer at Hofbruhaus.
I love hard problems around software architecture, concurrency, parallel programs, functional programming and semantic reasoning.

If you’d like to contact me, LinkedIn is probably the best way for professionals. The distant second is emailing me at brandonwerner@acm.org.
Biography
In 2001, with the European Union switching to one currency called the Euro, I worked with France Telecom, living in Paris, France, to develop the first international money transfer service, Minutepay.fr, before PayPal could enter the marketplace.
In 2002 I started The Planning Studio Inc., a startup focused on developing web-based networked collaboration technologies for urban planning and community
development corporations to help them in their mission to serve the community, since many non-profits lack the resources to build their own infrastructure. It starred Sean Bender from University of Cincinnati, Susan Winterberg from Harvard University and myself.
In 2006 I helped Munich Re on their 75 million dollar transformation of their entire enterprise architecture, including their first steps in to SOA and introducing a new B2B platform that drove partnerships with eSurance, Harley-Davidson and others. In 2007, I did the same for Safeco Insurance.
