Summary
🤩
Rockstar🎓
Top SchoolBrian Mcclain is a senior product education engineer with 14 years of experience building developer-facing content and tooling for distributed systems, virtualization, and PaaS. He blends hands-on engineering—front-end and backend development on the VMware Tanzu Developer Center—with technical marketing and workshop delivery to help teams adopt cloud-native patterns. At VMware he owned the Tanzu dev portal and contributed UI and integration work that shaped how videos and samples are surfaced to developers; he now applies that product-education focus at HashiCorp. Brian’s background in performance analysis and multi-datacenter infrastructure gives him rare credibility translating deep system trade-offs into clear, consumable learning artifacts. He’s as comfortable authoring tutorials and livestreams as he is modifying Hugo templates and CSS to improve developer experience. Based in Ohio, he combines practitioner-level engineering with polished developer education to close the gap between complex platforms and everyday engineers.
