Summary
👤
SeniorBrian Feldman is a Search Engineer and full-stack software developer with about 12 years of professional experience and over two decades of hands-on software work, currently driving search system modernization at the USPTO. He blends backend-heavy data engineering and search expertise—Solr, ElasticSearch, Java, Python—with front-end and mobile prototyping to deliver AI-driven search enhancements and replace legacy systems. His background spans federal defense and intelligence work, big-data entity resolution, and production-grade ETL and analytics, giving him a practical edge in mission-critical, secure environments. At USPTO he transitioned R&D prototypes into full development lifecycles, working asynchronously across multi-year scrumban projects as an individual contributor and technical lead. Notably, his career roots in Air Force intelligence and early work on entity-resolution platforms inform a strong operational sense for designing search that supports real-world decision-making. Based in Virginia, he combines product-focused engineering with a preference for pragmatic, iterative solutions to complex search and data problems.
