Senior🎓
Top SchoolBrian Qian is a New York–based full stack software engineer with eight years of experience building production web applications using TypeScript, Node, and React, and currently expanding into Go. He has led engineering teams and owned end-to-end features—from frontend components and SQL schema design to backend services, PDF generation pipelines, and custom RBAC systems—while also taking on DevOps and infrastructure work with Terraform, ECS, and Heroku. At Polco he spearheaded full-text search, tagging, and an internal dashboard, and earlier roles show a pattern of improving developer workflows through linting, code review processes, secret management, and CI/CD. Comfortable switching between product-facing features and internal tools, he pairs hands-on implementation with stakeholder-facing technical leadership and mentorship. An early career background in film and arts administration informs his clear communication and cross-functional collaboration when aligning engineering work with business goals.
