Top SchoolBrian Hunter is a founder and seasoned DevOps/SRE engineer with over a decade of hands-on experience building CI/CD pipelines, developer tooling, and cloud delivery systems for enterprises like IBM and startups alike. He combines a software developer’s pedigree—dating back to roles at Microsoft and Groove Networks—with 14 years focused on eliminating release surprises and hardening dev/release processes. As Principal Software Engineer at IBM he led a core build team responsible for end-to-end pipeline reliability, and his consultancy Dragon Hunter Labs now delivers that same expertise on a contract basis. Known for driving root-cause ownership ("the buck stops here"), he excels at automating delivery, improving observability, and making complex distributed systems predictable.
