AI Engineer who also produces records

I'm Brian Stanley. I work as an AI Engineer — building production systems that use LLMs, model dispatch, retrieval, and the messy plumbing in between. My day-to-day is closer to backend + infrastructure than to research; what I care about is whether the thing actually ships and stays up.

On the side, I produce and DJ electronic music. There are releases on Beatport and Spotify under Brian Stanley, and the occasional clip on @brianstanleymusic.

The two halves cross over more often than you'd expect. The project I'm proudest of right now is unstem.me, a free tool that takes any YouTube/SoundCloud/Instagram URL and returns the four separated stems — built for myself first, then made public when I realised every DJ I knew needed it.

What you'll find here

• Writing— field notes on AI engineering, usually shaped like the post I wish I'd found while debugging something.
• Projects— long-form write-ups on things I've built. The interesting bits are in the decisions.
• Music — tracks, mixes, links.
