Summary
Brian Rush is a Cloud Architect with 15+ years building high-volume eCommerce and enterprise web systems, blending deep hands-on engineering in C#, Java, SQL Server, NoSQL, search technologies and modern JavaScript frameworks with service-oriented and cloud-first architectures. A former U.S. Army Captain, he combines disciplined leadership and program management with technical delivery—having led cross-functional teams, authored proposals and functional designs, and managed budgets and releases. He has a long track record of integrating complex external APIs and search platforms (Endeca, Solr, ElasticSearch) to power high-traffic sites and analytics, and he often fills both architect and senior developer roles on medium-sized agile teams. Based in Greater Philadelphia, he holds an MS in Computer Science and a BS in Mathematics from Villanova and brings practical experience spanning full lifecycle development, data cubes/SSAS, and BI visualization. An uncommon strength is his ability to move between strategic IT decisions and hands-on implementation, advising executives while still shipping code and managing production systems.
