Brian Lefler is a software engineering manager with 12 years of experience building privacy-forward, reliable systems across browsers, cloud, eCommerce, and government platforms. He has led engineering efforts at Google (Chrome Privacy Sandbox, Ads integrity, Maps), helped modernize AWS and Ordering at Amazon, and was a founding member of the US Digital Service where he helped scale the organization and deliver presidential-priority projects across Cabinet agencies. Known for blending policy-savvy thinking with hands-on engineering, he designs solutions that reduce risk rather than create new ones—evident in work that improved web privacy, prevented ad discrimination, and restored critical government services. Comfortable operating at the intersection of technical execution and public-sector constraints, he brings a track record of shipping high-impact systems and influencing policy and process. Based in Washington, D.C., he pairs technical depth in full-stack and SRE work with a Master in Public Administration to navigate complex socio-technical challenges.
