Summary
Brian Berlin is a Senior Software Engineer with 13 years of experience building scalable distributed systems, specializing in Elixir and high-throughput backend architectures. Based in New Orleans, he has driven production initiatives from founding a web consultancy to leading core backend work at Peek, where he shipped an AI-driven business intelligence tool, high-performance search, and an ElasticSearch framework for multi-index reliability. At Revelry he coached teams while architecting fault-tolerant Elixir clusters, in-memory caches using ETS, and comprehensive observability stacks for Kubernetes production environments. He combines hands-on engineering with product-focused thinking—designing features like digitally signed waivers and tipping flows that directly improved business metrics. Known for pragmatic tooling, he open-sourced a GitHub Action for test coverage annotations and consistently optimizes systems for reliability and developer productivity. Brian is seeking opportunities to apply his distributed-systems expertise and leadership to complex, data-driven platforms.
