Summary
Brian Street is a pragmatic development team lead and staff-level engineer with 11+ years of experience delivering reliable JVM-based systems, CMS migrations, and observable production platforms. He excels at mentoring teams, reinstating testing culture, and driving incremental architecture changes that increase deployment velocity and reduce operational risk. His hands-on work spans Java, Groovy, Scala, front-end technologies, scripting, and database/ETL tools, with notable experience modernizing Java versions and migrating CMS content to improve SEO and traffic. Brian has a strong SRE and monitoring mindset—building dashboards, reducing errors, and catching issues before the business does—while also solving thorny problems like OCR race conditions and tenant-specific Elasticsearch isolation. Comfortable across cloud (AWS), Kubernetes, and CI/CD, he pairs practical engineering fixes (e.g., round-robin HttpClient, Gotenberg/Carbone PDF workflows) with clear documentation to speed onboarding. Based in Colorado, he combines a systems-first approach with a collaborative, teach-and-learn leadership style that quietly boosts team productivity.
