Summary
Brian Kessler is a seasoned Senior Software Developer with 11+ years delivering robust integrations and platform-agnostic systems across Salesforce, C#, Azure/AWS, and JavaScript, with a personal affinity for Scala and functional techniques. He specializes in refactoring brittle or low-code solutions into maintainable, test-driven architectures using SOLID, DRY, KISS and a functional mindset, and has repeatedly shipped secure integration layers (Salesforce REST/Bulk API, Platform Events, Azure Service Bus, SFTP, SOAP). Recent roles highlight end-to-end work on cloud-native C# services, CI/CD adoption, and complex Salesforce-Azure/AWS integrations for companies like Enpal, EF Education First, and Abacus Medicine. He prefers traditional code over low-code and is explicit about not building or maintaining low-code solutions, a stance he communicates up-front to save time for employers and recruiters. Comfortable as a technical lead and mentor, he also designs developer experience improvements (feature flags, sandbox managers, GitHub Actions pipelines) and runs technical hiring challenges. Based in Budapest, he seeks full-time roles with employers who will support European work-permit sponsorship and value high-quality engineering.
