Brian Best Email & Phone Number

Brian Best is a Senior Software Engineer at RaySearch Laboratories at Radformation. Colleagues describe them as "I have had the pleasure of hiring Brian onto my team at two employers. One with a focus of providing a framework control of the multiple devices required for maintaining and controlling the beam in a new proton therapy system. The other focused on standards-based integration of radiation therapy treatment machines with oncology information systems. Brian is a skilled, dedicated software professional. He consistently applies current best practices in software design and the development process. At the same time he keeps a positive attitude and is always ready to assist where needed when the team is under time pressure. I would not hesitate to hire him again should the opportunity present itself." and "For nearly a decade, spanning roles at two distinct companies, I've had the honor of collaborating with Brian and tapping into his extensive knowledge pool. I've also witnessed in awe his ability to learn and adapt, such as when he grokked PowerShell without ever using it before to the point of crafting a CI/CD pipeline solution that outperformed the longstanding problematic one. On another occasion, he adeptly developed a custom file-based data store capable of managing complex concurrency scenarios, complemented by a persistence abstraction layer that streamlined unit testing and helped our team get to the bottom of pesky I/O bugs. I could go on and on. Brian's prowess in architecting robust solutions sets him apart in our field. He has a remarkable ability to codify problems in abstract terms and deliver concrete solutions. He does so while navigating the full spectrum of development with ease, from intricate data modeling using UML diagrams to implementing data/web/business layers, and designing engaging and user-friendly interfaces. Whether referred to as a full stack developer or a generalist, Brian epitomizes the essence of these terms. Equally noteworthy is Brian's blend of technical acumen and soft skills, a combination seldom encountered in our field. He possesses the rare ability to engage in highly technical discussions and simultaneously demystify complex concepts for non-technical stakeholders with clarity and ease. Brian's witty sense of humor and optimistic "can-do" attitude, along with his steadfast composure under pressure are commendable, and were the source of great comfort to me during challenging times in our shared professional journey. I consider myself fortunate to have worked alongside Brian and eagerly anticipate an opportunity for our paths to cross again. Meanwhile, I can't help but envy those who currently and will in the future have the pleasure of calling him a colleague."
