Hi, I'm Brian.
RSS FeedI lead the Developer Relations team at LocalStack. I have nearly 30 years experience as a developer – mostly for the web – and over a decade in Developer Relations for companies like Adobe, Progress Software and LaunchDarkly. I've been very actively involved in the developer community over the years running virtual meetups and in-person events and conferences. I've also the authored of a number of books (something I hope never to do again 😅).
