Brian Castor

Full Stack Engineer and Technology Consultant


I'm passionate about building clean and scalable solutions to make peoples' lives easier and more enjoyable.

About Me


In 2016, I made a personal goal to reinforce my knowledge on all key areas of development necessary to stand up a full-stack web application - front end and back end development, database, infrastructure/DevOps.

Since then, I've achieved this through building front end experiences with React and Vue, building APIs and ETL Pipelines with Python and Node.js, and deploying Dockerized web applications to AWS and Google Cloud Platform.

I currently work as a lead software engineer and consultant for Accenture in Washington DC, doing full-stack development, engineering leadership, technical advisory, and solutions engineering.

Outside of work, I focus on social impact technology, music technology, and music production / performance.
