About
Brian Holt is a Principal PM on Microsoft’s Azure Database for PostgreSQL team, building developer tools and AI experiences that make working with databases easier. His work includes the PostgreSQL extension for VS Code and AI-powered database monitoring and troubleshooting. Previously, Brian worked on LinkedIn Learning and Visual Studio Code. He’s also a longtime programming instructor who enjoys making complicated technical topics approachable, preferably with a live demo and a few questionable jokes. Brian lives in Seattle with his wife and two kids. Outside work, you’ll find him skiing, playing board games, or finding an increasingly elaborate justification for another piece of tech he probably doesn’t need.
