Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolBrian Fults is a Lead Software Engineer specializing in media security with 12 years of experience building high-throughput, low-latency distributed systems for streaming platforms. At Disney Streaming he leads server-side DRM and licensing services that power Disney+, Hulu, ESPN+ and more, focusing on Scala-based backends, observability, and automated performance testing. His background spans cloud-native infra, data warehousing, and production reliability from roles at Asimov, Toast, and Amazon, where he balanced hands-on engineering with team leadership and operational excellence. He favors backend systems over front-end work and has deep experience with JVM ecosystems, akka-streams, http4s, and service instrumentation. Not obvious from titles: he’s driven developer enablement—introducing CI/CD, schema registries, and internal training—to scale teams and reduce operational risk. Based in Somerville, MA, he combines pragmatic engineering with a security-first mindset for delivering media at scale.
