Brian is a skilled data professional with a strong academic background. During his career, he has always dealt with data in some way or the other. With a degree in Pharmaceutical Sciences (Utrecht University), he originally focused on developing drug discovery tools but shifted his focus to data analytics.

During his PhD at KU Leuven Brian developed 3D-printed chips that allowed to grow of stem cells on a chip, that could further be analyzed using state-of-the-art sequencing tools. He had to integrate many different types of data (microscopy images, genetic sequencing, etc.) to be able to validate the results. He often used scripting tools (R, Python) to develop and integrate these pipelines.

He always had an affinity with information technology and he decided to follow his passion for data with a focus on data engineering. Brian worked on multiple projects since then with Immoweb, Accenture, and Orange Business to grow further in data engineering. He implemented orchestration tools for ELT client workflows and co-developed a prediction application.

Brian has experience in Microsoft Azure, extensive expertise in open-source tooling (Python, R, Airflow, Kubernetes, etc.), and is a (AWS) certified cloud practitioner.

He enjoys spending time outdoors, climbing, and playing his bass guitar outside of work.

Suneeth Maraboina is a Senior Systems Engineer at Apple, where he designs and develops audio modules for AirPlay and CarPlay, including AI-based approaches to improving audio quality. He has spent 20 years in multimedia, audio, and signal processing — building the core media stack at Roku, leading acoustics and integrating Dolby Atmos into Windows audio drivers at Dolby Laboratories, and developing audio drivers and processing objects at Qualcomm, Intel, and Microsoft.

That work has one thing in common: it ships compiled into devices he can never reach again. It is the constraint behind his talk on the six laws of designing SDKs for hardware — and what happens to all of them when the newest thing in your library is a file of neural network weights.

He is an IEEE Senior Member, an IETE Fellow, and an SCRS Distinguished Fellow, holds a master's in signal processing from IIT Guwahati, and reviews for technical journals and judges hackathons across the US.
