Brendan Sanderson

I'm an engineer and founder. I co-founded Synchronicity, where I led product and engineering and built Signac, an AI assistant that helped users create, test, and run trading strategies across more than 1,000 conversations.

Previously, I co-founded Beanstalk and launched its initial protocol as the sole engineer. Products I've built have processed over $1 billion in trading volume and reached $172 million in peak total value locked.
