Brian's Tech Corner

Platform engineering, homelabs, and open source — notes from the field.

Projects

Open source tools and side projects I'm actively building. Some are utilities for engineers, some are SaaS products, all are built and documented in public.

Staff-level AI code review assistant

A CLI + MCP server that channels the calm, battle-tested wisdom of a Staff Engineer into every code review. Surfaces failure modes, ownership gaps, and operational cost. Supports OpenAI, Anthropic, and local models via Ollama. Content packs let you swap perspectives — from on-call engineer to solutions architect.

An AI agent with persistent memory, tool integrations, and context-aware assistance. Wired into GitHub, Jira, Notion, Railway, and more — can take action across your stack, not just answer questions.

Reptile care management SaaS

A full-stack SaaS for reptile keepers — feeding logs, health records, weight tracking, breeding logs, and QR-code profiles. Built with Next.js, FastAPI, and Railway. A real-world platform engineering case study: Auth0, SonarCloud, Terraform, Port.io, and a floating AI chat widget all in one.
