From a Resume Drop to Lead Engineer
"I had to take action. As soon as B&L called me back, I knew I had to go for it.”
Bryan Green’s career at B&L Information Systems began with the tenacity of dropping off a resume. His journey from that old-school initiative to becoming a Lead Software Engineer is a perfect example of how B&L fosters professional growth built on hard work and dedication.
Bryan started as an intern at B&L right out of school. He quickly saw B&L was different than what he expected from an employer, offering a supportive environment where he could take ownership.
"I was given the opportunity to take ownership of a big project—writing most of the code for the web Data Explorer."
He taught himself the Progress code mostly on his own. That trust, self-discipline, and initiative led him to the opportunity to author most of the code for the web Data Explorer, a core piece of the Odyssey ERP platform.
"I enjoy being in a position of support... I'm able to use my problem-solving skills to help my fellow developers and build impactful features for our customers."
With 14 years at B&L, Bryan is a source of institutional knowledge and a mentor for the newest generation of developers at B&L. Bryan's work directly impacts customers, most notably on the Profile Manager feature of Odyssey, which enables clients to customize and save how they view their critical data.
He’s proud to be a key player in a small, mighty company with a big footprint in the metalcasting industry.
"I've been involved in community work for years, and lately, I've really gotten into building the Gundam models."
When he’s not coding, Bryan volunteers with a local fraternity focused on charitable community work. His passion for building intricate, snap-together Gundam models is a creative outlet that perfectly sharpens his analytical mind.
