Brydon Rodgers

I build and run AI automation systems for real businesses. Over the past two years I have designed, deployed and maintained self-hosted infrastructure for AI agents, workflow automation and WhatsApp chatbots, handling everything from Docker and networking up to the client conversation. Before that I spent three years in field technical work, so I am used to solving problems under pressure and explaining technical things to non-technical people.
