Brian Holt — Product Manager
Product leader at the frontier of AI agents and developer experience. I ship tools that make developers choose your platform—through great DX and by giving AI coding tools superpowers. Before product, I spent a decade as an engineer shipping code at Netflix, Reddit, and LinkedIn, which means I build for developers because I am one. Most recently Staff Product Manager at Databricks, focused on developer infrastructure and AI products. Previously led product at Neon (acquired by Databricks), Snowflake/Streamlit, Stripe, and Microsoft Azure—giving me deep experience across the data and developer tools landscape. I also teach courses on Frontend Masters covering React, databases, Linux, and web development fundamentals—people have watched my content for over 100 person-years. When I'm not thinking about agents and APIs, you can find me snowboarding or following Cagliari Calcio, where I'm a part owner.
