Software with a practical purpose.
I’m Brian Goetz, a cybersecurity professional and software developer who turns complex workflows into useful applications. My experience spans government operations, application development, database design, and the security responsibilities that come with mission systems. I’m seeking a software development role where I can bring that perspective to thoughtful, maintainable products.
In my free time, I tinker with electronics, explore embedded systems, and experiment with the emerging field of Super Intelligence. Away from the keyboard I design physical things—including a home I designed and constructed myself. I also enjoy hiking and rock climbing which I have had the opportunity to do all over the east coast as well as beautiful destinations in the western US such as Mount Zion National Park, Bryce Canyon, and The Grand Canyon.

How I work
I look for process bottlenecks, organize competing priorities, and communicate clearly across teams. I value fair decisions, careful documentation, and learning by building.
