Top SchoolBrian Christiansen is a seasoned system software leader with 13+ years of hands-on engineering experience and recent director-level responsibility at NVIDIA. He blends deep C/C++ systems expertise with strong tooling and debugging skills (GDB, Valgrind, Git) and a track record of shipping production-grade software across high-performance computing and cluster management products. A longtime contributor to SchedMD’s engineering leadership after a decade as a senior engineer, he excels at seeing the big picture of complex distributed systems while diving into low-level details to resolve thorny bugs. He enjoys learning new languages and approaches, has worked across Linux, OS X and Windows environments, and consistently mentors teams to raise overall craft. Based in Lehi, Utah, he pairs pragmatic analytical thinking with a penchant for not settling for shallow understanding—often automating and instrumenting areas others accept as “good enough.”
