Summary
🤩
Rockstar🎓
Top SchoolBrian Holt is a Principal Technical Program Manager and product leader with 12+ years building developer-first tooling and AI-infused developer experiences at companies like Microsoft, Databricks, Stripe, Netflix, LinkedIn, and Reddit. He designs and ships platform features that make developers choose a product—especially around AI agents, serverless Postgres, and VS Code integrations—drawing on a decade of hands-on engineering in front-end and full-stack projects. Brian also teaches widely used Frontend Masters courses (whose material has been watched for the equivalent of over 100 person-years) and actively maintains React and web-dev course repositories that demonstrate his commitment to practical developer education. Comfortable leading 0-to-1 product launches as well as integrating acquired technology, he blends product strategy, developer empathy, and implementation experience to make complex infrastructure feel like simple code. Outside work he’s part owner of a soccer club and a regular snowboarder, which keeps his perspective decidedly non-enterprise.
