Brendon Reimer, Junior Database Developer at Alight Analytics
So what do you DO at Alight? 

I assist with pulling and inserting client data into ChannelMix, so that it can then be consumed by our clients.

What did you do before you came to Alight? 

I worked for a commodities and foreign exchange brokerage, in their derivative trading operations department. Basically, I was the complex trading structure problem-solver and an analytical resource for all of our brokers and traders. (It is easier than it sounds.)

What do you like to do when you aren’t at work?

I am one of those weird people who actually prefers to do manual work to unwind, so you can usually find me doing woodworking projects (generously given to me by my friends) in my garage. 

People are always surprised to learn that … 

I worked as an electrician for almost two years after college.

What’s your go-to karaoke song? 

“Regulate” by Warren G ft. Nate Dogg.

What are you a ride-or-die fan of?

This may be a bit controversial considering the industry that I now work in … but I am a ride-or-die fan of very minimal social media use. Be prepared to be bored out of your mind if you follow me on any social media platform.

Favorite snack?

Definitely beef jerky. I’m not much for sweets.

Dogs, cats or neither? 

I prefer dogs since I am a little more security-minded. A cat would probably help an intruder out assuming there was sufficient quid pro quo.
