Scalable
Systems.
Great front-ends need bulletproof back-ends. Brian has architected and built server-side systems handling millions of requests — from RESTful APIs and GraphQL services to real-time WebSocket architectures and event-driven microservices.
Services
Robust server-side engineering for APIs, databases, and distributed systems
API Design & Development
RESTful APIs, GraphQL schemas, and gRPC services built for scale. Versioning strategies, rate limiting, authentication (OAuth2, JWT, API keys), and comprehensive documentation with OpenAPI/Swagger.
Database Architecture
Schema design, query optimization, and migration strategies across PostgreSQL, MongoDB, MySQL, Redis, and DynamoDB. We've tuned queries from minutes to milliseconds.
Microservices & Event-Driven
Service decomposition, message queues (RabbitMQ, Kafka, SQS), event sourcing, and saga patterns. We break monoliths into maintainable, scalable services.
Cloud Infrastructure
AWS, GCP, and Azure deployments. Docker, Kubernetes, Terraform, and CI/CD pipelines. Infrastructure as code from day one.
Real-Time Systems
WebSocket servers, Server-Sent Events, pub/sub architectures, and live collaboration features. We build systems that respond in real time.
