I turn operational complexity into AI-native products teams actually use, owning the whole loop from strategy and discovery through production code. By day I lead the AI function at Command Alkon, owning platform strategy and roadmap across teams. On my own, I ship production products for paying customers, including a mineral-rights operations platform and a 106k-line venue operating system, built on Next.js, TypeScript, Postgres, and the Claude API. Curiosity, precision, and a strong sense of craft.

Wound up
Nicolas Brem
Original tracks I produced as Nicky Danger. I make music the way I ship product: in iterations, with taste as the constraint.
I'm a product leader who finds the highest-value problem inside messy operations and owns it to a shipped outcome: strategy, discovery, roadmap, and delivery across teams. At Command Alkon I lead the AI function, setting platform strategy across 4+ engineering teams and turning ambiguity, from vague executive asks to raw customer pain, into products people actually use.
The edge is that I also build. I became the first product owner at Command Alkon to deliver production features through the full PR-to-prod process using AI-assisted development, and I architected a production RAG-based enterprise knowledge platform on AWS Bedrock and OpenAI: vector search, citation logic, ABAC. On my own, I've solo-built three production platforms: Galley, a live outreach-to-contract system running a mineral-rights firm's pipeline; Fortress, a 106,000-line venue operating system; and Storypoint, an AI-native product for agile teams. Same instinct every time: find the tangle, take it apart, ship one system.
That instinct is old. Since childhood, I've been wired with a curiosity to understand how things work, not just to take them apart, but to put them back together, often better than before. It's how I taught myself SQL and data visualization at a startup when we lacked customer insight, figured out Zapier workflows and Twilio integrations when we needed automation, and eventually taught myself to ship full-stack production code. Self-driven, iterative problem-solving, turning ambiguity into actionable outcomes.
At my core, I'm a builder, whether it's systems, teams, or ideas, and I'm driven by the desire to simplify complexity and create impactful, lasting products.
Real operational problems turned into products people run daily. Each one owned from discovery through production: strategy, roadmap, and the full build, across different industries.

Founder & Product Engineer • 2025
Turns Jira sprint data into presentation-ready decks, multi-audience release notes, and quarterly plans, the storytelling layer product teams were rebuilding by hand every sprint. AI-native on Claude, ~9 months in production.

Galley Investment Group • 2026
Replaced a mineral-rights firm's spreadsheet-and-dialer workflow with one system its principals run daily, cutting manual time on the outreach-to-contract process by an estimated 75%. Built and operated solo on Next.js, TypeScript, Postgres, and Twilio.

Founder & Product Engineer • 2026
A personal build exploring how to make market mechanics approachable: a free-to-play fantasy stock trading game where you pick five real-world stocks, enter daily contests, and learn on live data without risking real money.

CLE Group & The Betty ATX • 2026
Solo-architected a venue operating system for private hospitality (membership identity, application review, door and access control, live floor state, and a first-party POS), ~106k lines in roughly six weeks. Shipped to production infrastructure; pre-launch pilot with two venue customers.
Five roles, one instinct — find the tangle, take it apart, ship one system. Tap any role for the detail.
Product leadership for the AI function: platform strategy and roadmap across 4+ engineering teams, turning enterprise knowledge access into an AI search capability the whole product suite uses. First product owner at the company to ship production features through the full PR-to-prod process, proof the product leadership includes building.
Replaced a mineral-rights firm's spreadsheet-and-dialer workflow with one system its principals run daily, cutting manual time on the outreach-to-contract process by an estimated 75%. Built and operated solo.
Solo-architected a venue operating system that gives private hospitality one platform in place of four incumbent tools: membership identity, application review, door and access control, live floor state, and a first-party POS. Shipped to production infrastructure; pre-launch pilot with two venue customers.
Built and run the storytelling layer product teams were rebuilding by hand every sprint: turns Jira data into sprint-review decks, multi-audience release notes, quarterly plans, and live audience polls. ~9 months in production.
Early hire; supported the company's growth from startup through enterprise SaaS adoption and a successful acquisition.
Product leadership first, backed by the stack behind the projects above. Everything here ships in production today.
