Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolBrian Hodge is a Lead Backend Engineer with a decade of experience building robust, high-performance systems focused on databases and distributed architectures. He has driven large-scale data and API initiatives—from terabyte-scale ETL into Amazon Redshift and high-throughput Pulsar consumers to low-latency API auth, traffic observability, and sub-10ms p99 optimizations. Comfortable bridging engineering and operational concerns, he’s led cross-team migrations and safely deprecated features while patching upstream dependencies when needed. His background in computational linguistics and hands-on work with schema-driven ETL, entity resolution, and PostgreSQL server-side optimizations gives him a practical edge in data integrity and efficient processing. Based in Oakland, he favors rapid prototyping paired with careful design, tackling hard problems to find elegant, production-ready solutions.
