AI Engineer · Producer · Builder
AI systems, music tools, and the notes behind the build.
I'm Brian Stanley. I build production AI systems, ship side projects like unstem.me, and produce electronic music. This is the working log for all three.
Current loop
gather context, steer agents, review the diff.

agent notes
PR-first bot publishing
music
releases, mixes, field recordings
The useful part is not just the output. It's the decisions that keep the system understandable after it ships.

Short updates on agents, review loops, shipping side projects, and the parts of the work that are useful enough to write down.
Good agents need good engineering taste around them.
That's the recurring theme here: make the codebase easier for humans first, and the automation starts behaving better too.
Hi, I'm Brian Stanley
I write from the intersection of AI systems, product code, and music.
Before a post lands here, it has to earn its place: a decision I had to make, a pattern I would reuse, or a mistake worth avoiding next time.
