As a Sr Developer Educator at Clerk, I am primarily responsible for contributing and manage submissions from others to the Clerk blog, consistently maintaining the highest quality bar possible to guide developers to understand how to best utilize Clerk in their projects. I also foster relationship with other dev tool companies to identify potential collaboration opportunities as well as interface with customers on social media to help assist them with trouble using Clerk.
I directly managed Brian for nearly 2 two years. He was the first Developer Educator that I hired at PlanetScale and was directly responsible for much of the Marketing growth that PlanetScale experienced over the past two years. He possesses a unique skill set that is truly invaluable at any company. His expertise in content creation, documentation, programming, and understanding of marketing/sales positions him as an incredible fit for any DevEd/DevRel team. The true differentiator with Brian is his eagerness to make a difference and his incredible work ethic. He is truly the hardest working individual I've had the pleasure of managing. If you are looking for someone that can hit the ground running and make a huge impact on the company, Brian is your guy.- Holly Guevara, VP Developer Marketing

In 2015, I joined LeSaint Logistics as a Systems Engineer with a focus with assisting help desk support, as well as maintaining a datacenter & network of 20 warehouses across the US. I was quickly promoted to Senior Systems Engineer where I was put in charge of managing projects as related to the IT Operations department and ensuring successful execution of these projects in a timely manner.

In early 2018, our in-house developer left the company and I was offered the position of Software Engineer due to my successful side-projects in the organization. I was given the responsibility of onboarding new integration customers, facilitating a successful integration and extending the functionality of our .NET API as needed, all while retaining my responsibilities as a Senior Systems Engineer while a my replacement could be found.
In 2019, I decided I wanted to focus my career on software development & cloud infrastructure, so I obtained my AWS certifications as a Solutions Architect & Developer, both Associate level certifications.
I had the pleasure of working with Brian at Systech. We at Systech are an IT Managed services provider. During Brian's engagement with us we had required customized software on many occasions. Brian was easy to work with and listened well to our needs and the customer's needs and was able to boil down those needs into a deliverable software solution. I would recommend Brian for any of your software programming requirements.- Jack Prager, President
I joined Systech in 2013 as a Network Engineer, it was a job very similar to my own company where the daily requirements were very dynamic. I was constantly working with new and interesting technologies as required by our customers. My primary focuses were;
Midway through my tenure at Systech, my role was changed to focus specifically on onboarding new clients into our system. I designed a project template that was used on a number of clients to ensure that all of the required hardware & software were correctly procured, configured, and deployed to the client site.
Through all of this, I had a secondary focus of building applications for internal use, and for several clients.
Notable projects:
I started working at a big box retailer as a computer repair specialist before leaving to start my own company focusing on computer repair, networking, and general systems configuration. I worked with individuals as well as business to help solve computer-related issues, regardless of the scale. I also built several websites and applications during this time.
In 2013, my now wife and I were getting serious about starting a life together, so I made the decision to move away from being a solopreneur to getting a job for more steady income.
