Summary
Brian Griffey is a seasoned engineering leader with 12 years of experience building high-throughput consumer and enterprise platforms, currently directing Monetization Engineering at Udemy from Austin. He has repeatedly taken monoliths to distributed, cloud-native architectures—leading API, web, and mobile platform transformations using GraphQL, Next.js, Kotlin gRPC services, and Kubernetes. His teams have driven measurable business outcomes: growing mobile revenue into the billions at HomeAway and launching large-scale commerce apps at Sysco that processed tens of millions weekly. Brian blends hands-on expertise in Android, Node.js, NoSQL and DevOps tooling with product-minded ownership of acquisition, conversion, and re-engagement funnels. Not obvious from titles: he has built core developer tooling, auth infrastructure, and transparent network/security controls that scaled across global engineering organizations.
