Hi, I’m Brian Dillon, a senior Software Engineer and Technical Lead who builds production-grade software across the full stack, cloud, and data/AI-adjacent systems. I’ve delivered an AI-enabled healthcare platform from research to deployment, designed AWS-based microservices for ML workloads, and built end-to-end data pipelines including medallion architecture and data lakes, all while embedding GDPR, DPIA, and MDR into system design. I enjoy translating complex architectures into clear documentation, assessing risk and ambiguity, and judging whether technical outputs are correct, safe, and fit for purpose. I’ve led technical direction across frontend, backend, infrastructure, and ML integration for spinouts like CommPAL and MyUSE, and I’m passionate about turning academic research into practical software, governance, and privacy-focused products.
