Rockstar🎓
Top SchoolBrian Morearty is a veteran software engineer with 15 years of modern web experience and a long history of production-critical work dating back to early C/C++ and Win32 systems. He has driven performance and architectural improvements at companies like Intuit and Airbnb, taught internal Rails classes to new engineers, and created highly rated public training (Rails performance and early Docker courses). As a consultant and hands-on team member he repeatedly reduced page load times and database round trips, and contributed backend performance patches to the popular Spree e-commerce platform. Now retired and based in San Carlos, CA, he remains active fixing systems, mentoring locally, and coaching youth soccer—bringing a mix of deep technical craft, practical teaching, and community-oriented curiosity that’s not obvious from a resume alone.
