Summary
Brian Maher is a senior software engineer with 11 years of post-Amazon experience and a two-decade track record of building resilient, production-grade systems across startups and large enterprises. He combines hands-on full‑stack expertise (Java, NodeJS, Vue/Angular, MySQL/Postgres, Kafka) with platform-level work—installers/helm charts, Kubernetes, CI/CD and secure secret management—often stepping into engineering-manager roles to unblock teams. At OneTrust/Integris he led cross‑continental teams and helped ship a platform that added NATS over websockets, contributed to the NATS Java client, and standardized logging and secret-store integrations. Earlier roles at Distelli/Puppet and Amazon show deep systems instincts: secure encrypted at-rest architectures, build systems, and web platform security work including CSRF and XSS protections. Based in Issaquah, WA, he’s a pragmatic quality advocate who prefers raising engineering bar by example and rolling up his sleeves in both code and infrastructure. Not obvious from titles: he’s repeatedly been the go-to engineer for integrating novel messaging and deployment primitives into existing product stacks.
