Brian Luft’s Summary

Desktop and Web Application Engineer with experience in multiple languages and application frameworks in both Windows and UNIX/Linux environments.

Solid grounding in software architecture and software development methodologies as they relate to the larger goals of businesses.

The diversity in the projects I've been involved with make me a strong generalist. Security/cryptography, desktop applications, eCommerce, web applications, website analytics and search marketing are some areas I've worked in that have broadened my horizons as a member of the technology industry.

Comfortable in a variety of leadership roles: project management, team lead, mentor.

Passionate about open source technologies and the power of communities to create viable solutions.

Never satisfied with my current level of expertise, I am an avid and aggressive reader of news, blogs, and literature related to both the technical and business aspects of the software industry.

Brian Luft’s Specialties:

Web application development with a focus on Python and Django. Web 2.0 technologies: AJAX/RIA, social networking, and mashups. Content management and online publishing. Managing and participating in projects with distributed teams. Open source software products.
