Brian Lakstins is a Lead Software Engineer with nearly three decades of hands-on experience designing, developing, and hosting web applications for small businesses and enterprise clients. He has run virtual server hosting since 2007 across Microsoft, Amazon, Rackspace and other providers, and combines C#/.NET development with maintenance of legacy Classic ASP, VB.NET and PHP systems.

Known for pragmatic, long-lived engineering (some platforms he built in the late 1990s are still running), he excels at keeping production e-commerce and mission-critical sites secure and available. Based in Terre Haute with a BS in Electrical Engineering from Rose-Hulman, he brings entrepreneurial ownership and practical systems knowledge to every engagement.
