About
Hi, I'm Brenden.
I'm a designer who builds. I run Cold Soul Records, make instrumental hip-hop as Faded Ronin, and write about AI at Kyber Intel.
I build tools, games, and automation systems that let me run multiple projects without burning out. I've been deep in AI workflows for years — ComfyUI pipelines, LoRA training, local LLMs, n8n automation.
I don't sketch ideas. I ship them.

Why Work With Me
What's different about working with me
I move fast
AI-augmented workflows mean I ship in days, not weeks. I've built systems specifically to move at 2–4× normal speed without sacrificing quality.
I understand the whole stack
I built my own PC, run my own servers, and manage the infra myself. There's no hand-waving about how things work — I know.
I build things that solve real problems
Cold Soul Records exists because I needed a better way to release music. The AI pipeline runs projects I actually care about. That real-world experience translates directly into better solutions for clients.
I communicate clearly
No jargon, no vague timelines, no surprise fees. You'll always know where your project stands and what it's going to cost.

Background
A bit more about me
I started Cold Soul Records in 2020 as a way to release my own music. It grew into a full operation — mastering, distribution, merch, digital delivery. I built the infrastructure myself because existing tools didn't do exactly what I needed.
That pattern repeats. I wanted to understand AI deeply, so I ran my own ComfyUI pipelines and trained my own LoRAs. I needed a dashboard to manage multiple projects, so I built one.
I built my own PC. I run my own Linux server. I like understanding the whole stack, from hardware to deployment. That depth is what makes me useful to clients — I can see problems before they happen.
I'm based online — I work with clients remotely, worldwide.
