ABOUT BRETT NEESE
With experience in both technical and nontechnical roles - and an international perspective - I aim to empower development teams and digital artists build, ship, and scale faster - and more reliably - through automation, effective systems design, and cloud technologies. I\'m always interested in hearing more about new opportunities and am currently actively searching for my next role! However, please note that I\'m exclusively looking for remote opportunities at this time. Outside of LinkedIn, I can be contacted at b••••@neese.rocks.
