He gets super excited whenever he talks about technology, especially cloud computing, patterns, and practices. His job is to help customers strategically leverage technology, and help make Windows Azure the best platform for any language or tool.
In a past life Brian was a part of super startups, super marketing firms, and super consulting firms. Much of his super architecture background includes building super scalable applications, application integration, and award winning web applications. All of them were super. Much of his work was based on early versions of Linux, Java, and open source software (for example Hibernate)
Further, he is a co-founder of the non-profit organization CodeMash (www.codemash.org), an event specializing in cross platform and open development. He speaks at various international technology conferences. He only wishes his job didn’t require him to say ‘super’ so much.
Brian is the co-author of “Azure in Action”, published by Manning Press.
Brian holds a Bachelor of Arts degree in Computer Science and Physics from Capital University, Columbus, Ohio. He is also a zealous gamer. He is a fan of Fallout 3, Portal, and pretty much every other game he plays.
