Brian Thorne is a Principal Software Engineer at Partly. He possess expertise in python, linux, embedded systems, software engineering, c and 37 more skills. Colleagues describe him as "Brian is a rare beast, able to effortlessly switch between providing impressive engineering expertise characteristic of a specialist, and delivery and stakeholder management more commonly associated with a delivery lead or product owner. I had the privilege of working with Brian when he was leading the Confidential Computing team at Data61, and I was product manager for our Privacy Enhancing technologies. He has the curiosity, deep technical knowledge, and enthusiasm for finding new solutions to complex problems typically associated with the archetypical scientist, researcher or engineer. He breaks that mould, bringing also the pragmatism, people skills and project management needed to guide delivery and drive successful outcomes. Brian is a strong people leader, and during our time together in Data61's Enhanced Access to Sensitive Data Technology Program he handled numerous challenges, conflicts and personalities with emotional intelligence and integrity, always putting the needs of the team and group before his own. I'd work again with Brian in a heartbeat, and recommend him unreservedly." and "I had the privilege of working with Brian when helping Data61 to commercialise a deeply complex set of technologies. Not only is Brian exceptionally talented as a technologist but he is a real leader with a knack to communicate complex issues simply. I've seen him manage incredibly difficult people challenges with complete authenticity, integrity and genuine care for others while at the same time focusing on the needs of the business. I've also been very impressed with his customer focus and ability to decant complex customer problems into new product feature sets. I loved working with Brian and I regularly look for opportunities where we could work together again."
