About Brian Edwards

I give senior product management direction to my AI product managers who groom issue backlogs, and advise my AI development managers as they orchestrate the implementations by my background AI software engineers. Then I write songs while they work.Current AI engineering work includes a contract at BridgeNet, plus two projects of my own.Hex Index is a long-form reading platform — a daily pipeline pulls essays and journalism from across the open web, runs commentary and clusters them by topic, and ships a weekly EPUB. The point is to read more carefully than the feed lets you.Folk Sequence is a YouTube channel for folk songs. I release one a day at 3 PM Central via an automated pipeline I built so the songs can come first and the engineering exists to keep them moving.Townes Van Zandt and John Prine are the ground I write from. Bolaño, McCarthy, Pessoa, Anne Carson, and Coetzee are what I read. CLI/TUI before IDE. Always dangerously skip permissions. Songs before everything else.

Experience

   Building agent systems and language model workflows for BridgeNet. The fun part is figuring out how AI actually slots into how a company already operates, not how vendor decks say it\'s supposed to work. Weekly cadence, remote, with periodic on-site weeks in Covington.
