Builder notes on useful systems.

I’m Kyle Brodeur. I build systems for work that has become messy, repetitive, or trapped in someone’s head.

This publication is where I document the work.

What I tried. What changed. What it cost. What held up after the demo.

Expect practical notes on AI, automation, knowledge systems, learning operations, custom tools, and the occasional OfficeGardener dispatch.

About me

My path has moved through video production, education, product operations, data systems, marketing technology, and software.

I started building websites from an HTML4 book in my grandfather’s shop when I was 12. The tools changed. The habit did not.

At U of Digital, I lead technology and improve the systems behind learning operations and the learner experience.

Outside work, I grow plants, build things, and run small experiments where gardening, sensors, automation, and documentation meet.

Why subscribe?

Subscribe if you want notes from someone doing the work and showing the receipts.

Free subscribers get public field notes and new posts by email.

Paid support helps fund the time and tools behind deeper experiments. It also gives me room to share working notes, methods, datasets, and early results when useful.
