About Brian Edwards
Pioneering vibe coding—AI-assisted development that multiplies team velocity 6-10x.
I'm pioneering vibe coding—AI-assisted development that multiplies team velocity 6-10x—through Folk Care, an open-source home healthcare management platform I built in 28 days with Claude Code.
Folk Care is production-ready, fully deployed, and available for agencies to self-host at $20-30/month, delivering enterprise features (EVV compliance, scheduling, billing, family portals) that typically cost $750-2,250/user/month from traditional vendors.
Drawing on experience as Senior Software Engineer at Atlassian (Bitbucket) and Zenoss, I combine software engineering best practices, dev team management, CTO-level strategic thinking, and product management expertise to demonstrate how businesses can achieve nearly impossible project scopes through vibe coding.
I train and consult with teams adopting these transformative practices, proving that with the right AI-assisted workflows, a single developer can accomplish what traditionally required 4-6 engineers over 3-4 months.
