Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolBrian Schwinn is a seasoned technology leader and CTO with over 18 years of experience building financial web applications, collaboration platforms, and cloud infrastructure across global teams. He blends deep hands-on engineering (Go, Java, MySQL, Redis, NSQ) with operational expertise in monitoring, CI/CD, and scalable messaging systems that power real-time financial workflows. His career includes leadership roles at Connectifi, OpenFin, and multiple tenures at Thomson Reuters where he shipped embedded IM/chat servers and a web collaboration platform used across enterprise products. Comfortable across the stack — from JVM tuning and event-driven architectures to front-end integrations — he also mentors distributed teams to shorten idea-to-production cycles. An electrical engineering background informs his practical approach to systems and hardware-adjacent interests: he records and engineers audio, builds amplifiers, and maintains analog consoles in his spare time. Based in New York, Brian combines product-focused pragmatism with a tinkerer’s curiosity that often surfaces in cross-disciplinary solutions.
