Rockstar🎓
Top SchoolDustin Brown is a senior engineering manager and full-stack developer with 12 years of experience building web applications primarily in Ruby, JavaScript, and Java, now leading engineering at GitHub. He combines hands-on coding history—from startups to large product teams at eBay, New Relic, and GitHub—with strong advocacy for experiment-driven development and conversational interfaces. Known as a pragmatic problem-solver and lifelong learner, he prioritizes clear commitments, early communication of issues, and speaking up to improve technical and organizational processes. Dustin brings a teaching mindset from earlier roles as an instructor and developer, which he uses to mentor teams and foster collaborative learning. Based in Portland, Oregon, he looks for roles that stretch his skills and intentionally drives improvements that make products and teams more effective. An unusual mix of pastoral leadership experience and retail management early in his career gives him extra empathy for people-focused engineering.
