About
Small by design. Direct by default.
SlantSeven is the independent AI consulting and software practice of Michael McBrien, based in Bluffton, Ohio, and built around responsibility that never disappears into a handoff.
The working principle
Technology should make the human part clearer.
Michael works as a senior full-stack developer and engineering leader. SlantSeven is intentionally small: direct conversation, visible decisions, and the person responsible for the recommendation close to the work itself.
Right now the most useful thing he does is help businesses, especially local ones, put AI to work: advising on where it fits, proving it with a small working build, and delivering the long-term solution when the proof holds.
It is a practice for people who need a clear technical partner—not more distance between the question and the answer.
Care is visible in what gets built—and in what gets left out.
Bounded commitments, honest proof, responsible handling of information, and a preference for the smallest valuable move.
