Top SchoolBrian Behrens is a Staff Software Engineer in Los Angeles with over a decade of hands-on experience crafting interactive websites, social campaigns, and web-based applications since 2003.

Brian has progressed through senior engineering roles at agencies and product companies—including REI, VideoAmp, and Surfline/Wavetrak—where he focuses on solving complex problems and telling product stories through code.
