Top SchoolBryan Holladay is a Senior Manager of Software Engineering at Turnitin with over a decade of experience building and leading engineering teams in EdTech. He founded VeriCite and grew it to over a million users before its acquisition by Turnitin, then transitioned into principal and senior management roles focused on product integrations and platform reliability. Bryan has deep hands-on backend expertise in learning management systems, contributing notable code to the widely used open-source Sakai project—particularly around Turnitin and VeriCite integrations, webhooks, and report generation. His career blends academic community engagement with commercial product delivery at organizations like Indiana University, Longsight, and Turnitin. Based in Greater Tampa Bay, he combines founder-driven pragmatism with enterprise-grade engineering processes and a knack for smoothing third-party integrations. A sometimes-overlooked strength is his consistent focus on improving submission handling and user-role mappings that materially reduced friction for instructors and institutions.
