About
Credentials, current engagements, and the work behind them.
I'm Brian McGauley — a Web Developer, IT Consultant, and MBA student at California State University, Fresno. I recently graduated Summa Cum Laude with a Bachelor of Science in Business Administration (Computer Information Systems) in December 2025, and am now pursuing my MBA while running an independent consulting practice through Imaginarii (imagi-narii.com).
Through Imaginarii, I provide web development, branding, SEO, analytics, and technology strategy services to clients ranging from political campaigns to nonprofits and chambers of commerce. Active engagements include a pro-bono full-technology overhaul for the Kerman Chamber of Commerce and ongoing volunteer support for Fresno PAL and Success from Within.
Beyond my technical work, I'm a published music artist specializing in dubstep and electronic dance music. Tracks are available on Spotify and other streaming platforms. For releases and updates, visit music.brianmcgauley.com.
