Summary
Brian Turnbull is a distinguished software engineer with 17 years of experience building high-availability, high-performance systems spanning embedded telecommunications and modern web applications. He has deep hands-on expertise in Elixir/Phoenix, Ruby on Rails, Python, C++, SQL and low-level embedded software, and has driven build tooling, CI/CD, container orchestration, and software configuration management for large cable-edge router and distributed access products. At CommScope/Aurora Networks he helped operationalize releases for the E6000 CER and DAA families, bridging device firmware, cloud-native microservices, and developer tooling. His background in device drivers, real-time OS work, and RF/hardware engineering gives him a rare full-stack perspective from silicon to services. Based in Portsmouth, NH, he pairs pragmatic engineering with long-term stewardship—co-founding a local nonprofit to support public music education—revealing a commitment to community impact beyond code.
