About Brian
I’m a retired senior director from Bentley Systems, where I led software development teams in the energy sector. After stepping away from corporate tech, I focused my energy on applying AI and automation to help nonprofits work more effectively.
I volunteer with Management Advisory Services (MAS), a nonprofit consulting organization serving organizations in the Greater Toronto Area, and am open to international clients. My focus areas include CiviCRM implementation, AI adoption strategy, n8n workflow automation, and AI agent development.
Based in Oakville, Ontario, Canada.

Allard Prize Donor Outreach
Building AI-powered donor outreach automation using n8n, Claude AI, and Google Sheets to help the Allard Prize team identify and engage potential supporters.
I’m looking for tech peers who enjoy building AI agents, working with n8n and AI/LLMs, and applying technology to nonprofit challenges. Not looking to build a formal community or business — just informal monthly calls to share what we’re building and bounce ideas around.
