Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolBrian Huston is a software engineer based in Oakland with nine years of experience building scalable full-stack services and performance-oriented back ends. He blends front-end polish (React, ES6, CSS) with robust back-end engineering (Node.js, Docker, AWS, MongoDB/MySQL/Postgres) and a track record of dramatic performance gains—e.g., improving throughput 550% and reducing latency by 95% on a reviews service. Brian approaches systems like an experiment or a race—tuning infrastructure, load balancing, and observability to squeeze more performance from fewer resources. He also practices test-driven development and performance profiling, raising PageSpeed scores and shipping containerized microservices to AWS. A former touring musician and music graduate, he brings creative problem solving, teamwork, and disciplined rehearsal habits to engineering. Outside work he drums, sings, and stays active through hiking, running, and tennis, which keeps his collaborative energy and endurance sharp.
