Hi, I'm Brody. I welcome the opportunity to share my twenty plus years of experience to help you transform your projects into a unique product of tide and time. In the same way that the ocean produces sea glass.
Start the Tumble
Every engagement starts with discovery. I dive into your stack, your team's pain points, your deployment cadence. No assumptions — just listening. Like glass arriving on the beach, every situation is unique.
Terraform. Kubernetes. Github/GitLab. Python. Java. Erlang. .... The tools are the tide — constant, relentless, precise. I apply IaC improvements, streamline pipelines, and start reducing that version sprawl. The tumbling begins.
Patterns emerge. Golden paths solidify. Whether it's collapsing 30 language versions to 4 or designing LLM governance guardrails, the rough edges start to smooth into something recognizable and reliable.
The result is infrastructure that stands the test of time. Documented, transferable, resilient. Your team owns it. The ocean's work is done — and what's left is something genuinely rare: a system you're proud of.
You're moving fast — a startup or scale-up with real infrastructure debt accumulating under rapid growth. Your CI is flaky, your Terraform is unreviewed, and the next hire needs a platform that actually works. I come in and build the foundation while you keep shipping.
You have a 10- or 20-year-old system — sprawling microservices, inconsistent build tooling, monitoring bolted on as an afterthought. Nobody touches it without flinching. I've been here before. At Prosper I consolidated 200+ services across 30 language versions. Your legacy is my baseline.
You're doing something genuinely new — building an LLM adoption framework, exploring agentic tooling, or navigating multi-cloud feasibility. You need someone who's already been in the water. GenAI governance, RCA automation, observability strategy — I bring the map.
It's rare to find someone who manages to keep deployment velocity high while actually caring about the security guardrails. Jason consistently made it look easy. His ability to deliver resilient infrastructure under pressure is exceptional.
Libin Babu Staff Security Engineer · Prosper MarketplaceBrody was one of the key people pushing GenAI adoption forward — not just in theory but in practice. Sharp mind, responsible, and genuinely responsive. Someone who holds a high bar for quality without making it feel heavy.
Siarhei Holub Staff Software Engineer, GenAI & ML · Prosper MarketplaceHe pushes the envelope on infrastructure automation and has high standards for complete, durable solutions. His intellectual curiosity and big-picture thinking are great assets. Always ready to challenge assumptions and help the team evolve.
Thomas Boyles Engineer · One MedicalBrody went beyond just fixing a problem — he took the time to mentor me on best practices and showed me how to troubleshoot on my own. A supportive, knowledgeable engineer who significantly improves the workflow of the teams around him.
Amy Clark Analytics Engineer · Prosper MarketplaceThere are few things in the SRE world that he doesn't have deep knowledge and experience of. Having him on our team levelled us up. Working with him is a daily pleasure.
Juan Beltran SRE / FinOps / DevOps EngineerA single word to describe Brody: passion. He is more passionate about systems engineering than anyone I have worked with. He will drive any organization with determination and isn't afraid to ask the tough questions.
