Brian Ference

At Equity Methods, I own AwardTraq and the firm-wide Claude program end to end, from a 19-skill GitHub library and model evaluation to training more than 100 employees. I also took Customer Portal and Forecasting concepts to high-fidelity prototypes in days, with both now in engineering build against requirements I wrote.

I build AI products directly through RedAnvil, an agentic app factory that turns a prompt into a tested full-stack application with a PRD, database, API, human review, and a 96-rule quality gate. I also built DaisyDog, a child-safe AI companion, and TripOne, a grounded conversational trip planner using live travel data.

Across 18+ years in payments, cloud infrastructure, utilities, government, and digital products, I've led engineering teams, delivered customer-facing platforms, and turned ambiguous problems into measurable outcomes. At American Express, I managed 20+ direct reports and helped deliver Store and Forward, which captured more than $153 million across 56,000+ payments.
