About Brian
I'm Brian — a Staff Engineer at one of the world's largest tech companies, with a previous career you probably didn't expect: Broadway actor, guitarist, and occasional vampire-adjacent TV presence.
I build and operate complex infrastructure-as-a-product systems — the kind that span multiple teams and turn enterprise tooling into products people actually want to use. For the past five+ years at Meta I've been a core contributor across four flagship products in that space, with thousands of commits to production across full-stack server, frontend, data pipelines, and CI infrastructure. I also build greenfield GenAI applications and evaluation pipelines from scratch.
Good engineering, like a great performance, disappears into the experience. That's what I'm here to build.
These days, when I'm not engineering, you can find me on the baseball field, coaching my son's little league team.
