About Brian Carothers
I love helping businesses to grow faster by applying the right technologies at the right time. I like to set audacious goals and then deliver on them. I have had the benefit of working in consulting for more than a dozen years, so I am used to jumping into new industries and ramping up fast.I have been fortunate enough to be on great teams that have accomplished some amazing things, like- Increased a consulting company\'s revenue 1500% in 6 years- Selling and successfully delivering the largest (at the time) deal in the history of Red Hat- Modernizing the technology stack and processes while growing the engineering headcount by over at an industry leaderAs a CTO, I am comfortable leading teams of 80 or more people. I believe that technical leadership requires a good understanding of the ground truth, so I am equally comfortable writing and reviewing code.I love learning new technologies, so I tend to do stereotypically nerdy things like contributing to open source projects when my day job doesn\'t allow time for coding, or getting an AI certification (Coursera Machine Learning) on weekends.Languages: C#, JavaScript, Java, Python, ARM AssemblyFrameworks.Net Core, SpringDatabases: SQL Server, Postgres, SOLR, Redis, OracleMessaging: RabbitMQ, MSMQ
