Bryan has been an advocate for performance testing and engineering for the last two decades, working as a consultant, product manager, subject matter expert, solution architect, and enterprise architect. He believes performance is an attribute, not a feature, and is a strong proponent of a dedicated performance engineering discipline that involves participants from all aspects of the application development lifecycle. Bryan has led strategic conversations with hundreds of customers over the years and loves using stories and analogies to represent complex technical environments to people so that they can be easily understood. He lives in Toronto, Canada, with his wife and daughter, and is an avid student of science fiction and fantasy, history, and technology.
