Bryan Houlton is a Founder at Orin Labs. He is proficient in French. Colleagues describe him as "Even as an undergraduate, Bryan possesses remarkable skills as a software engineer and researcher. I had the pleasure of mentoring Bryan for a year through UMD’s Smith Investment Fund (SIF) and could immediately see that he is a talented, dedicated individual. I specifically worked with Bryan on developing infrastructure for SIF’s research platform, and Bryan constantly sought out opportunities to contribute to various areas of development. He quickly picked up our team’s development practices including unit testing, CI/CD, code styling, documentation, version control, and more. Throughout this process, Bryan was an excellent communicator and not afraid to ask questions. Bryan is also a leader- he took charge of creating a web dashboard for SIF’s research platform (which is no small task) and demonstrated talent in both front and backend development. He also has a great sense of humor, is a fast learner, and would be an invaluable asset to any team."
