Hello, I'm Brian Behrens.
I am a software engineer.
I live, work and code in Los Angeles. I like to surf, snowboard and ride my bike. I'm passionate about music and film. I enjoy sharing my own stories through photos, videos and posts.

Prickly Point
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.
