Summary
Brian Washburn is a Principal Engineer specializing in system design and high-throughput data platforms, currently optimizing an OpenSearch cluster that ingests 600TB+ per day and reduces it to 200TB+ of usable data across 83 data nodes at up to 3M documents/sec. With about eight years of modern experience built on a long history in UNIX systems administration, he focuses on JVM performance management, application performance instrumentation, and web server tuning to drive predictable production behavior. At T‑Mobile he develops virtual system and application performance tools that turn noisy telemetry into actionable insights. Based in Michigan, he combines deep operational instincts from early-career sysadmin roles with hands-on engineering to squeeze more efficiency from large-scale ingest pipelines.
