Senior🎓
Top SchoolBrian Cowdery is a Principal Software Developer with 13 years of experience building scalable, high-availability web platforms and data processing systems from startup POCs to production-grade distributed services. He has led architecture and platform efforts—rebuilding Symend into a containerized, service-oriented system using RabbitMQ/Kubernetes, implementing CI/CD and SBOM-driven security pipelines, and deploying ML workloads to Azure Databricks. Comfortable across Java, C#, Python and modern DevOps toolchains, he’s shipped one-click deployments, build automations, and reusable SDKs that simplify microservice development and testing. Brian pairs hands-on coding with developer experience improvements (mono-repos, local docker stacks, testing harnesses) and has a track record of turning proofs-of-concept into resilient, multi-tenant platforms. Based in Alberta, Canada, he is constantly experimenting with cutting-edge tech—recently migrating an AI content assistant from Streamlit/Python to a C# microservice using Microsoft Semantic Kernel and Azure OpenAI.
