Brian Mason is a Software Engineering Manager at Octus. Colleagues describe them as "Brian is a passionate, creative, patient, hard worker who leads by example. His intuition and creativity to rapidly solve highly technical problems is only surpassed by how he was a pleasure to work with and his penchant to mentor those junior to him. He's a proven tech lead." and "Brian is a high-level IT professional. Very effective. Very experienced. Very wise. Not just technically, but also in dealing with people and situations. Brian is a good person to brainstorm ideas, design architectures. He doesn’t need micro-managing. He can come up with an approach himself, split it into tasks, prioritize, distribute work between team members. Implement the hardest pieces himself. He is a “go-to” expert. He is an excellent “hands-on” software engineer, but also an experienced architect. He is very good at solving problems. And a really nice person. It was a pleasure and honor to get to know him and to work with him. I highly recommend Brian."
