Let's Talk
Brandon Middleton - Prof B

Prof B

I've spent 20 years in tech — from software engineering at Cisco, to consulting at Slalom, to cloud and AI/ML at Microsoft and AWS. I've seen what works and what doesn't when companies try to adopt AI.

For the past 7 years, I've taught at Stanford d.School, helping business leaders navigate emerging technology. I'm also an instructor at Campus.edu, where I teach "Vibe Coding" — building software with AI tools.

I'm not here to sell you hype. I'm here to help you build a pragmatic AI strategy that actually works for your business.
