I am passionate about developing stronger communities by enabling the creation, processing, and exchange of information, easily and securely.To this end, I spend a great deal of time working in, thinking about, and discussing the interfacing of people, process, and technology.Over the course of my career, I have worked on teams to develop, deploy, and maintain a diverse constellation of systems and services in support of the unique missions of some of the largest and most respected organizations in the world.Or, as my grandmother likes to tell people, "Brian plays with puzzles for a living." She thinks that's pretty neat. I do too.I make a point to use open things whenever possible. As a dear friend of mine is known to say: "it is always possible."
