Brian Scaturro is a versatile Principal Software Engineer and architect with 14+ years building resilient, high-performance web and backend systems across startups and mid-size companies. He blends deep backend expertise (PHP, Clojure, Node, AWS) with hands-on ops—migrating legacy APIs to containerized Laravel/Octane, designing serverless pipelines, and introducing CI/CD, profiling, and atomic deploys to improve reliability and performance. Brian has driven integrations and realtime features (search, Slack, webhooks, OAuth) and created testing and QA practices (Behat, tokenizer/test work on paratestphp) that reduced release risk and sped delivery. Based in Zeeland, Michigan, he pairs pragmatic engineering with architecture leadership, often tackling migrations and performance bottlenecks that unlock measurable business impact. An early adopter of Clojure in production and an open-source contributor to testing tooling, he brings both breadth across the stack and a track record of modernizing teams and systems.
