Hi, I’m Brian Johnson

Tech Lead @ Meta | Former Product Manager | DevEx & AI Platform Strategist

I find myself at the intersection of platform shifts, developer ecosystems, and AI adoption.

Over the past two decades, I’ve operated inside major platform transitions:

• Microsoft - Developer ecosystem, product management, platform strategy
• Netflix - Cloud-native architecture, DevOps enablement, internal bootcamps
• Meta - AI infrastructure, DevEx analytics, LLM productivity enablement

---

What I Care About

I’m interested in how platform primitives become usable systems.

• AI infrastructure - LLaMA ecosystem, PyTorch tooling, agent frameworks
• Build systems & developer tooling - Buck/Buck2, CI/CD systems, typed languages
• Documentation as infrastructure - PyTorch, React, Docusaurus, docs-as-code
• Applied generative systems - Agent APIs, workflow automation, physical design tooling

---

Current Focus

I’m especially interested in how AI agents reshape:

• Developer workflows
• Knowlege systems
• Platform strategy
• Human + AI collaboration

Selected Projects

• watchdialtools - Inkscape extensions for generative watch dial design
• Various forks across the AI & developer tooling ecosystem
