Tobias Brick
Summary
🤩
RockstarTobias Brick is a Senior SDE based in Redmond with over two decades of hands-on experience building high-volume, cloud-backed services and native clients across C#, C++, Win32, Android and Java. At Microsoft he architects and operates Xbox Live backend pipelines—migrating services to Azure, converting single-tenant systems to triple-active architectures, and shipping tournament and leaderboard features with low operational overhead. He pairs security-minded backend work (patching CVEs in critical projects like microsoft/azurelinux) with pragmatic client and tooling experience from earlier roles at HTC and in Outlook/Zune infrastructure. Tobias excels at squeezing operational cost savings from architecture changes and shipping reliable releases across mobile, web and desktop platforms. A subtle strength is his ability to bridge deep systems programming and developer-facing tooling, enabling both robust production services and smoother developer workflows.
