About Me

Building AI automation for nonprofits from Oakville, Ontario

Background

I'm Brian Flett, a retired senior director from Bentley Systems where I led software development teams in the energy sector. After stepping away from corporate tech, I've focused my energy on applying AI and automation to help nonprofits work more effectively.

I volunteer with Management Advisory Services (MAS), a nonprofit consulting organization serving nonprofits in the Greater Toronto Area, and am open to international clients. My focus areas include CiviCRM implementation, AI adoption strategy, and n8n workflow automation.

Based in Oakville, Ontario, Canada, I'm passionate about using technology to amplify the impact of organizations doing good work in the world.

Looking for Tech Peer Collaborators
Seeking a few professionals who share my interests

I'm looking for tech peers who enjoy building with n8n, working with AI/LLMs, and applying technology to nonprofit challenges. Not looking to build a formal community or business—just informal monthly calls to share what we're building and bounce ideas around.

Interests Include:

  • • n8n and workflow automation tools
  • • AI/LLMs (Claude, OpenAI, etc.)
  • • Nonprofit technology and CiviCRM
  • • Learning while building real projects
  • • Self-hosted infrastructure
