Rockstar🎓
Top SchoolBrian Thai is a Full Stack Web Developer contractor with 11 years of experience building performant, cost-saving adtech and analytics systems from the frontend to backend and infrastructure. Based in Vancouver, he has led major migrations and optimizations—replacing a digital publishing ad stack to save $2M annually, centralizing ad delivery via Cloudflare Pages, and cutting reporting fees by over 40% through a custom dashboard. Technically versatile, he ships TypeScript frontends (SvelteKit, Next.js), Python and Go backends, ClickHouse and Tinybird analytics, and automates CI/CD and IaC across Cloudflare and AWS. An active open-source contributor, he’s improved core ClickHouse Grafana plugin logic and replaced third‑party JSON tooling with native calls to harden parsing and alerting. He combines hands‑on implementation with data-driven decisions (A/B and funnel analyses) and a consistent track record of delivering ahead of schedule and reducing operational costs.
