Brian McKeiver, Co-Owner and Solution Architect at BizStream, will take the stage at Stir Trek 2026 on May 1, 2026, in Columbus, OH. Stir Trek is a full-day developer conference held at AMC Easton 30, featuring 64 sessions for developers, designers, and tech leaders, followed by a blockbuster movie screening. This year, Brian is presenting not one but two sessions.
BizStream’s web development team works with organizations across North America to solve complex technical challenges, from modernizing legacy platforms to building scalable cloud-native applications. Stir Trek brings together a community of builders and problem-solvers, and that’s exactly the kind of audience we connect with. Brian’s sessions draw directly from the real-world project work our team delivers every day.
Brian brings 25 years of experience leading BizStream’s technical strategy and delivery. He holds dual Microsoft Azure MVP recognition in both Cloud Native Development and Azure AI Services, is a 15-time consecutive Kentico MVP, and is a Kontent.ai MVP. Brian is an active contributor to the developer community through his blog at mcbeev.com and the Kontent Rocks podcast.
Software products and systems don’t stay static. They evolve, accumulate technical debt, and sometimes become difficult to maintain. When you’re dealing with a platform that’s been running for 15 years, the question isn’t just how to modernize, it’s what to modernize. Should you refactor piece by piece or rebuild from scratch? What about that new feature the Product Owner needs?
This session explores how combining product thinking with software modernization leads to better outcomes. Brian will walk through real-world lessons from a long-running SaaS product, examining how to balance technical constraints with customer expectations through the lens of long-term product strategy, user needs, and business value. Whether you’re leading a legacy transformation or trying to avoid one in the future, this talk will highlight smart modernization decisions that keep the business moving.
Building applications for the cloud has always pulled developers away from the business logic that matters most. Microsoft’s .NET Aspire simplifies that complexity with a curated set of components designed for cloud-native C# projects. In this session, Brian will walk through the setup and usage of .NET Aspire, showing how it helps .NET developers discover, acquire, and configure essential cloud dependencies from the start of a project. If you’re building for the cloud with .NET, this is a practical look at a tool that can make your workflow more efficient.
Stir Trek takes place on May 1, 2026, at AMC Easton 30 in Columbus, OH. Doors open at 7:00 AM, with sessions running from 8:00 AM to 5:00 PM.
