Curiosity builds what’s next.

I'm Brian A. Bowers, a web developer, software builder, and digital consultant based in New Orleans. I build and manage websites, create applications, and connect tools into practical workflows. Creative direction, design, and photography are also part of how I work.

I earned a degree in computer science, and my work in graphic design and music production goes back to 1993.

Building systems people rely on.

My professional experience spans client websites, institutional web platforms, content management systems, and custom applications. I’ve built websites from scratch, worked within established platforms, and taken responsibility for maintaining them as needs change. Development and ongoing operation are both part of my work.

At a web development company, I built client websites using an internal custom CMS, adapting each site to the business it served. In higher education, I personally redesigned and rebuilt a university website by hand in HTML using Dreamweaver. My later institutional work continued in Cascade CMS, alongside ongoing website maintenance and portal management.

I also build applications around the work I do every day. That involves defining requirements, designing workflows, connecting tools, testing behavior, and investigating problems during actual use. When I use AI-assisted development, I direct the implementation and remain responsible for the system’s requirements, configuration, testing, and operation.

My ComfyUI Controller is one example: I conceived the system, configured its production workflows, and defined how requests stay connected to their execution records and outputs. I use and refine that system in my own creative production.

That experience shapes how I approach consulting. I can help you work through an existing website, plan a rebuild, or develop a tool around a recurring task—with attention to both how it gets built and how it will be used.

Music and movement.

In high school, I performed with D.A. Hustlaz, a six-member dance crew that stayed together for about five years through high school and into college. I created our music mixes using cassette decks and choreographed the routines. We performed at school and college venues and won talent shows around New Orleans.

I continued creating music and choreography for other performers in college. That work developed into Live Track Productions, a recording studio I owned and equipped. I produced music for myself and other artists, working with collaborators across writing, performance, arranging, mixing, and mastering. I also coached vocalists and prepared stage music and choreography.

Learning the tools.

Computers and online services were part of my life early. As digital music tools developed, I worked with software including Cakewalk and Fruity Loops, bringing computers into a creative practice that already included music and performance.

In college, I prepared music discs around other students’ song choices and playback needs. Even then, the work meant understanding both the technology and the person using it.

From music to visual design.

My design work grew through LT Imagery and Designs By Beans, from graphic design and print layouts into websites, Flash animation, video, and multimedia. Before photography became a central part of my work, I personally designed websites, logos, and print materials for small businesses, artists, and organizations.

Today, I bring that combination of creative direction and technical problem-solving to software and automation. For my ComfyUI Controller, I conceived the system, configured the workflows, directed AI-assisted development, and handled testing and daily operation. The tools have changed; understanding the work and making it useful still comes first.

A New Orleans perspective.

New Orleans brings together culture, creativity, and resilience in a way that keeps ideas moving. It’s a source of inspiration for how I see people, places, and possibility.

Practical thinking. Human purpose.

Bring me the idea, the work in progress, or the process that keeps getting in your way. I’ll help define the problem, choose a manageable first step, and agree on what a useful result should look like. From there, we can move into design, a prototype, or a working solution.
