Senior🎓
Top SchoolBlair Murri is a seasoned software architect and owner with over 13 years of experience designing and delivering reliable, secure, and maintainable applications across desktop, cloud, and containerized environments. He specializes in software configuration, distribution, and maintenance—particularly MSI packaging and extending the WiX toolset—and has contributed bug fixes and compiler improvements to the widely used WiX Toolset v3. Blair combines hands-on expertise in build and localization systems, DevOps, and packaging formats (RPM, AppX, Docker, Spoon) with a track record of mentoring teams and delivering projects on time and within budget. His background includes introducing delta-patch technology at Microsoft to save millions in operational costs and architecting multi-tier client/server systems with strong attention to scaling, transactions, and security. Based in Bellevue, WA, he mixes independent consulting and product work, running support and engineering services for deployment tooling while also driving cloud-native genomics and container projects. An uncommon strength is his end-to-end perspective—from low-level installer internals to high-level SOA and Kubernetes deployments—allowing him to bridge tooling, operations, and product needs.
