Brian James Landsberger’s Summary

I have been involved in technology, hardware, and software since 1995, two years prior to graduating high school. Since that time I've filled many roles and had the opportunity to work with unimaginably talented and experienced professionals. Technology has played an important role in my life, thus I am passionate about it.

Currently I work full-time as a Software Development Engineer in the Test organization at Isilon Systems. In addition I own a private consulting company and enjoy the challenges it provides.
