Hey, I'm Brian Best

Senior Software Developer @ Axonify

I write code, untangle gnarly bugs, and sprinkle in some AI magic to make life easier for everyone.

Level‑Up with AI

From automated issue triage to code‑review copilots and GPT‑powered test generators, I lean on AI to slice through repetitive tasks. That frees me up to focus on the fun stuff—architecting features and shipping delightful experiences faster than ever.

Why Me?

  • 15 years of writing production code (and the scars to prove it).
  • Blend of people‑skills & tech chops—I've been a radio DJ and a founder.
  • Continuous learning mindset—currently geeking out over edge AI & LLM agents.
