About Bret McGee

Story
I'm Bret McGee — a senior engineer and technical lead based in London, Ontario, Canada · Remote, with 8+ years shipping production software since 2018.
Senior engineer focused on agentic AI and multi-agent delivery systems — designing orchestration, reliability guardrails, and real-services quality gates that multiply engineering throughput.
I build production systems across web, mobile, and desktop with strict TypeScript standards, real-services quality gates, and agent-orchestrated delivery workflows.
Values
Ship with guardrails
Automated lint, typecheck, and test gates plus reliability patterns for long-running agentic work.
Real services, real feedback
Integration tests hit real APIs and backends — mocks hide the bugs that matter in production.
Accessible by default
WCAG 2.2 AA is a launch gate: focus management, contrast, and reduced-motion paths are designed in.
Lead with clarity
Architecture, delivery, and cross-platform ownership — from enterprise retail scale to federal digital services.
How metrics are measured
~2,951 contributions/yr
Method
- Self-measured from GitHub activity: commits and pull-request reviews combined.
- Trailing twelve-month window ending at the time of measurement (early 2026).
- Figure reflects personal throughput across independent engineering and client work — not a team aggregate.
Caveats
- GitHub "contributions" include commits and reviews; the count is platform-defined, not a custom productivity index.
- Volume is one signal — quality gates, disclosure review, and real-services testing matter more than raw count.
- The figure updates periodically; this page documents the methodology, not a live dashboard.
