Gary Brien is a versatile software engineer based in Sydney with roughly a decade of industry experience and over six years focused on full-stack and infrastructure work. He has built production web apps, microservices and real-time mapping dashboards using technologies like Vue.js, Node.js, Go, Mapbox, three.js and Temporal, and has migrated data layers to modern tooling such as Tanstack Query. Gary combines hands-on implementation (including rebuilding his portfolio with three.js) with mentorship—running pair programming and technical sessions—and a track record of shipping services in AWS Fargate and monorepos. His background spans analytics and automation from earlier roles (SQL, Tableau, Pentaho) through to modern cloud-native architectures, giving him a pragmatic blend of data, backend and front-end expertise. Notably, he rebuilt a weather service in Go as a personal objective, reflecting a habit of learning through real projects.
