Brandon Bjelland
platform & agentic engineering leader
I build software factories: platforms where agents and people share one path from idea to production. Most recently I was the architect behind the platform under every Prisma AIRS product at Palo Alto Networks, after it acquired Protect AI. I’m based in St Paul, Minnesota.
