Senior🎓
Top SchoolBrian Bird is an experienced software developer and educator with over two decades of hands-on experience building C, C++, C#, Java and web applications and a current 11-year tenure as lead faculty for the AAS in Software Development at Lane Community College. He blends practical industry work—CEO of a software consultancy and earlier embedded/hardware design at TriQuint—with deep academic credentials, including an MA in Linguistics and classroom experience teaching everything from data structures and AI programming to mobile development. Brian’s strengths span .NET, Android/iOS with Xamarin, multithreaded C/C++ systems, and database/T-SQL design, and he routinely converts complex requirements into teachable, production-ready solutions. Less obvious is his field linguistics background and fluency in Farsi and Tajik, which inform a rare cross-disciplinary perspective on language, usability, and system design.
