I build things that work.
Now with AI.

From Commodore VIC 20 to Claude API — I've been writing code since the early '80s. Today I help businesses integrate AI into real products, fast.

About

I got my first computer — a Commodore VIC 20 — as a teenager in the early '80s and never looked back. Since then, I've built billing systems for ISPs, shipped the first mobile app for a Gannett property, led frontend architecture for a startup, and spent a decade in enterprise consulting.

Now I'm doing the most interesting work of my career: combining decades of full-stack development experience with modern AI tooling. I build AI agents, integrate LLMs into real products, and help businesses figure out where AI actually makes sense — and where it doesn't.

I'm based in Two Rivers, Wisconsin. I work remotely and believe the best code solves real problems for real people. When I'm not building, I'm spending time with family and friends or on the golf course.

Early Career & Education

Various

Started programming on a Commodore VIC 20 as a teenager and never stopped. Studied Computer Science and Business Administration at UW-Platteville, then followed curiosity wherever it led — from owning a restaurant to managing IT at Channel Communications to programming sprinkler systems during the construction of Whistling Straits Golf Course.

Internet Systems Manager

Byte Head / Provident Technologies

Joined Byte Head after they acquired the company where I was working as a field tech. Grew into the Internet Systems Manager role, designing and maintaining the server infrastructure, billing systems, and provisioning tools that scaled the ISP from around 200 to over 5,000 customers in under three years.

Also created a tool that let reporters upload spreadsheets and automatically generate searchable databases with web front ends woven into their online stories.

2011 — 2017

Enterprise Contractor

Bridgevine, Infor, ADP, Schneider National, ZyQuest

Spent six years contracting for enterprise companies across the Southeast and Wisconsin. Built real-time SAAS interfaces at Bridgevine, contributed to Infor's award-winning Ming.le platform, led a team at ADP converting legacy HR applications, delivered a customer-facing freight scheduling app at Schneider National, and built Angular and Ionic SPAs at ZyQuest.

Built the full stack — React Native mobile apps, Node.js APIs, and serverless infrastructure on AWS Lambda with DynamoDB. Also set up a Cardano blockchain node and did NFT development.

2022 — 2025

Lead Developer — Healthcare

Florida Blue / Centene

Led frontend teams at two major healthcare companies. At Florida Blue, managed a team of 7-10 React developers building an enterprise platform for contract management. At Centene, led 7 developers on a multi-tenant SAAS platform with HIPAA compliance and white-label customization.

What kind of AI work does Brian do?
Brian builds custom AI agents and integrates LLMs into real products. His own agent, Mandrake, runs autonomously on a Linux machine — handling email, Slack, scheduled tasks, and memory. He's also worked with RAG systems, vector databases, and MCP servers. Think practical AI, not research papers.
What's his tech stack?
Full-stack JavaScript/TypeScript — React, React Native, Next.js, Node.js on the frontend and backend. Python for AI and automation work. PostgreSQL and Supabase for data. He's been at this since the early '80s, so the stack has evolved a few times.

Let's talk

Have a project in mind? Need AI consulting? Or just want to talk shop? I'm always open to interesting conversations.
