Bri Stanback is a Chief Architect with over 15 years of hands-on experience building privacy-first, high-scale software that serves millions of users. At Product.ai she designed distributed data systems powering a 300M+ product entity catalog, built a sub-100ms similarity search with Model2Vec and FAISS, and led privacy innovations in a browser extension using probabilistic data structures to avoid transmitting browsing data. She blends backend, frontend, data, and AI work—moving platforms from monoliths to cloud-native microservices while cutting deployment time and verification costs dramatically. A pragmatic leader and mentor, she established engineering guilds and automated documentation pipelines that measurably improved developer productivity. Her open-source contributions include meaningful extensions to the popular prerender project focused on plugin hooks and debugging tools, reflecting a focus on reliable production tooling. Bri pairs technical depth with human-centered design, prioritizing elegant solutions that genuinely help users without exploiting their data.
