Brandon Middleton

Brandon Middleton is a lover of all things technical, musical, and educational. He is based out of Silicon Valley in California and over the past 18 years has worked for Amazon Web Services, Slalom Consulting, Microsoft, Cisco Systems, the Wounded Warrior Project, and Stanford University. He originally hails from the south side of the south side of Chicago but left there and went West in 2005.

By day Middleton brings his technical and business leadership skills to work to help his customers and partners transform their businesses using cloud computing, artificial intelligence, web3, and mobile technologies. Middleton received lots of helping hands growing up and because of this has a deep passion for K-12 education and for his community in both Chicago and the Bay Area.

To affect change for underprivileged communities, Middleton has been a board member of the San Jose Repertory Theater, Silicon Valley Education Foundation, ALearn, and a board fellow at College Track and the Mural Music and Arts Project. He proudly holds an M.B.A. from the University of California, Berkeley (Go Bears!) and a B.S. in Electrical Engineering from the University of Illinois Urbana Champaign (I-L-L). In his spare time, he enjoys teaching, traveling, eating great food, playing basketball and soccer, playing music with his band, and spending quality time with his wife and three kids.
