Hi, I’m Brody.

LiveForward Deployed Engineer · Ravenna

Forward Deployed Engineer at Ravenna. Previously embedded on Zapier’s MCP team from its infancy, introducing it to AI partners like OpenAI, Anthropic, Google, and Meta.

Off the clock it’s home-server tinkering, Letterboxd logging, and chasing down a good cocktail recipe.

Pattinson is locked in as Chris Hansen, Skyler Gisondo is great as the decoy Dan, and Merritt Wever makes the producer feel like someone who will go to any lengths to get the shot. The mid-2000s fever dream look is a nostalgia trip that feels like channel surfing at 2 a.m., and it looks gorgeous. Hansen and his team honestly believe they're doing a public service, and that belief is what lets them exploit everyone in reach, the decoys, the targets, even the viewers at home.
