Gary Brickman is a founding technical support engineer and analytics-focused data engineer with 7 years of cross-functional experience helping developer and analytics teams ship reliable data products. He has helped scale support and developer success at early-stage tooling companies (Sigma, Dagster Labs, Graphite/Cursor) and is skilled at bridging product, APIs, SQL-based analytics, and custom formula workflows. Gary contributes to prominent open-source projects like Dagster by improving documentation and preserving API clarity—work that smooths onboarding and reduces developer friction. Based in New York, he combines hands-on coding from a full-stack bootcamp with deep customer empathy to solve thorny integration and observability problems. Unexpectedly, his pattern is to join nascent platforms as an early support hire and rapidly turn tribal product knowledge into durable docs and repeatable engineering processes.
