Brantley — Solutions Engineer.

Solutions Engineer building at the edge of AI

Solutions Engineer / Architect with a background at Segment (acquired by Twilio), now focused on AI-forward roles. I help technical buyers translate ambitious ideas into shipped systems, and I spend my evenings vibe-coding small tools to scratch my own itches. Currently exploring how AI changes the shape of sales engineering and the products we build around it.

About / Contact

Brantley headshot

I spent years at Segment helping the world's most demanding data teams make sense of customer data infrastructure, then watched the acquisition by Twilio reshape how I think about platforms at scale. These days I'm focused on AI-native products — both as an operator inside go-to-market motions and as a builder shipping experiments on nights and weekends. The projects below are mostly the latter: small, opinionated tools built to learn in public.

Currently exploring: agent evaluation tooling, longevity data, and what a great AI-era sales engineer looks like.
