Hello, I'm Brian Behrens.

Prickly Point is my personal cacti and succulent log, launched in January 2026. I designed and built the entire site, and I am the sole grower, collector and photographer behind every plant on it. It is a Next.js and Supabase application with taxonomy records, habitat field data, an interactive map, NFC tags on my pots, and photo galleries tracking each plant's growth over time.

Since April 2021, I've been a Staff Software Engineer at Surfline, where I work across our web applications stack. My primary focus is on the UI layer, using technologies like TypeScript, React, and Next.js. I also contribute to building and maintaining our APIs and databases, and we frequently work with AWS.

I joined VideoAmp in 2018 and started working on the Design Ops team. We created the PreAmp Design System and I now work on the Measurement application, which allows users to optimize their ads and monitor past and active investment initiatives.
