Brian Landau
Developer
Programmer by day, board gamer by night, a problem solver always. Growing up with a father who wrote about troubleshooting Macs, Brian started with computers at a young age. His BS in biopsychology and masters of information science motivate Brian to think about the cognitive implications of the interfaces he builds.
Brian focuses on both how users will perceive applications and how other developers will approach the code in the future. He loves making code readable and maintainable.
