About

Brandon Bowers in a navy suit and white shirt

I'm from Boston and still live here. I did a stint in Ohio for college at Miami University, the 2019 MAC Champions, don't forget.

Currently, I work in marketing at Flexcompute, a frontier physics lab melding artificial intelligence and first-principles physics. In layman's terms, we help really smart engineers solve their hardest problems. It's exciting to be able to learn so much outside of my domain, at a place that's doing what nobody's done before.

Before that, I spent five years at Procursys, a Boston startup connecting property managers with commercial service providers. Officially marketing. In practice, it was marketing plus a bit of everything else. I started while the product was still in MVP. Getting a holistic view of a business from launch to acquisition was a lucky way to start my career.

Outside the office, I'm really just trying to keep my tomato plant alive. I like to golf, walk the Charles, or get sidetracked by dumb home projects.

Timeline

  1. 2021

    Miami University – Farmer School of Business. Marketing degree and a pretty good time. 10/10 would do it again.

  2. 2021–26
    Procursys logo.

    Procursys. First job out of college. I couldn't have been more fortunate to start here and learn what it's like to help build a business from the ground up.

  3. Feb 2025

    Needed a new computer. Fell down the build-your-own rabbit hole, decided to put it together myself, and somewhere in there started looking at running AI models at home.

  4. Feb–Jun 2025

    Early days, documented on LinkedIn. First local model running in week one. Then a lot of broken config files, one test that ended in an endless loop and a flood of emojis, and a four-month check-in titled "I've Completely Lost the Ball."

    A terminal running a local model for the first time. Asked "What's up, doc?", it starts to answer. A local model repeating "working together as a team of one" until it collapses into emojis and symbols.
  5. May 2025

    First version of this site. Basically built by early 2025 ChatGPT and local models that were, at the time, pretty bad. It showed.

    The first version of this site: a bright blue page reading "Hi, I'm Brandon. Just a passionate hobbyist, trying to build cool stuff in my free time."

    Flexcompute. First month's goal: learn what a mesh is.

  7. Oct 2026

    Rebuilt how I use AI day to day. One workspace, a lot of small tools.
