Senior🎓
Top SchoolBrian Aiken is a Principal Software Engineer with nine years of experience delivering cloud-native, secure, and production-grade solutions from Azure Kubernetes deployments to retrieval-augmented AI for regulated industries. He blends hands-on engineering and solution architecture—leading multi-tenant SaaS designs, GitOps-driven AKS migrations, and infrastructure-as-code tooling that dramatically cut deployment times. Recently he’s focused on AI-driven workflows using Azure OpenAI, LangChain, Databricks, and vector databases to enable natural-language-to-SQL, hybrid chat with tabular/PDF data, and compliance-aware RAG systems. Comfortable across the stack, Brian architects backend services in Python/FastAPI, designs CI/CD and DevOps pipelines, and has built an open-source Azure deployment tool to simplify tenantized deployments. His background in naval combat systems engineering and program management gives him a disciplined, audit-focused approach to complex, high-stakes projects.
