Summary
Brian Bright is a software engineer with 10 years of experience specializing in container orchestration, distributed systems, and AWS serverless and infrastructure tooling. He began in DevOps at Apptio, driving a datacenter-to-AWS GovCloud migration and shaving roughly 24TB of RAM from production footprints while improving security and reliability. At AWS he progressed from Cloud Support to Software Engineer, becoming a recognized Lambda expert who diagnosed a rare cross-service bug involving Lambda, Fargate, CloudWatch, Docker, and the Go SDK. He codes in Go, Python, C, PHP and uses Terraform, Puppet, Kubernetes, and Docker to deliver resilient infra-as-code solutions. Known for blending hands-on systems work with strong incident investigation skills, he also intentionally sought support roles early in his career to sharpen technical communication and team collaboration. Based in Seattle, he pairs practical pragmatism with a curiosity for low-level, performance-sensitive engineering.
