Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolBrian Fox is a senior software engineer with 25+ years of experience blending hands-on full-stack development, distributed team leadership, and international project management across Microsoft, startups, and climate tech. He builds durable developer tools—most recently Arborescent, an open-source outliner for project decomposition and AI workflows that helps teams encode expertise and retain creative control when working with AI. Comfortable across React, TypeScript, Node.js, PHP/Symfony and PostgreSQL, he has led remote teams to measurable product improvements (for example, reducing churn by 20% and cutting call response times by up to 30%). A pragmatic engineering leader, he emphasizes autonomy, observability, and long-term maintainability while balancing time-to-market. Based in rural France and fluent in English and French, he seeks remote individual-contributor roles at mission-driven companies. Not obvious from job titles: he pairs deep enterprise experience with recent open-source product-building focused on safe, collaborative human–AI workflows.
