Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolBrian Montana is a Senior UI/UX Software Engineer and Marine veteran with 11 years of front-end and engineering leadership experience, currently improving performance and design at Ocient. He has led cross-functional teams at scale—driving UI improvements for products serving tens of millions of users, cutting login latency, and architecting testing and CI/CD practices that dramatically improved developer feedback and reliability. Brian blends a designer's eye (MFA in Time Arts) with pragmatic engineering—specializing in animation, accessibility, refactors, and performance optimizations that often shrink codebases and speed pipelines. He pairs hands-on implementation (Playwright, MSW, React, TypeScript) with management experience from UnitedHealth and Rally Health, mentoring teams and codifying patterns that reduce ambiguity for new hires. An MBA from Chicago Booth and a history of building internal tooling and automation reflect his interest in aligning engineering craft with business impact.
