Summary
Eric Briese is a backend software engineer with 13 years' experience building data-driven systems across defence, health, and finance, currently based in London. He brings strong Django and PostgreSQL expertise, a track record of delivering integrations and APIs (including ePrescribing and national health identifiers), and experience owning platform components end-to-end. Eric has led cross-functional PODs as a technical lead and scrum master, translating ambiguous requirements into technical architectures and detailed delivery plans.
