Bio

Hi, I'm Brian Ziman, a software engineer with over twenty years of experience building algorithms and enterprise applications. I am primarily a back-end Java expert, with a focus on mathematical and scientific systems, as well as on concurrent programming, including massively parallel multi-system applications.

My career has spanned everything from start-ups, to higher education, to pure R&D companies, to Google, where the software I wrote impacted many millions of people each day.

I love solving hard problems, and writing beautiful code. There are many engineers that thrive on finding libraries and tying together the pieces that other people built. My speciality is building those tools and libraries and designing that infrastructure. I have implemented RFC 1945 from scratch, and coded Quicksort in Java, for use in production, way back when Java didn't have one yet.

I've made my life writing code, answering questions, and solving problems. Maybe I can do that for you.
