Senior🎓
Top SchoolBrian King is a seasoned DevOps and Data Engineer with 18 years of experience building reliable, user-focused software across databases, backend services, and native iOS apps. With roots as an Oracle DBA and a long tenure at Liip, he blends deep operational rigor (replication, enterprise data safety) with pragmatic backend engineering in Python/PostgreSQL and occasional mobile development. He led Moodle hosting and plugin work, contributing substantive improvements to the moosh tool and demonstrating a knack for adapting legacy systems to modern APIs. Now at Swisscom he applies that mix of precision and product sensibility to data and infrastructure challenges, favoring solutions that “get out of the way” for users. Collected experience across C++, PHP, Django REST, and Swift gives him uncommon cross-stack fluency useful for bridging teams and systems.
