Headshot of Brian

Hello
I'm Brian!

I'm a Software Engineer, excited to help teams turn complex challenges into clear & impactful solutions

I recently created Splinter, an open-source data ingestion pipeline that transforms unstructured data into vectorized formats for AI-driven knowledge bases, leveraging Python, Typescript, and AWS services to ensure scalability and automation.

Background

As a software engineer, I’m passionate about continuously expanding my technical expertise and tackling complex challenges through critical thinking and problem-solving.

I approach challenges with a scientific-mindset, using hypothesis-driven experimentation and iterative testing to refine solutions. I’m not afraid to fail, as I believe that learning from real-world experience allows me to adapt quickly and find effective results in fast-paced environments.

I prioritize effective communication, aiming to explain complex ideas in a clear and detailed manner to ensure teammates are well-informed. I focus on identifying key ideas and building the necessary context around them to promote alignment and foster productive discussion.

When I’m not coding, you’ll likely find me on the golf course or reading. I tend to juggle three books at once (fiction, non-fiction, and self-improvement) because you never know which kind of wisdom you'll need each day! 🙂
