B.T. Franklin
Software Architect & Applied AI Technologist
I'm a passionate software developer and entrepreneur specializing in AI-driven applications. With over two decades of experience in the tech industry, I've had the opportunity to work on a diverse range of projects, from game development to enterprise software to generative art and music.
Applied AI
I care about turning LLM capabilities into understandable tools, stable workflows, and useful interfaces instead of demos that only work once.
Creative Systems
A lot of my work explores generation, simulation, procedural structure, and the boundary between deterministic tools and creative output.
Computational Creativity
I have presented my independent research in computational creativity internationally at the Generative Art Conference and Computer Simulation of Musical Creativity Conference, covering generative music, behavioral-data-driven text generation, and AI-driven visual storytelling.
Open Source
My public repositories show a long arc from Swift creative libraries to current Python, TypeScript, JavaScript, Django, and agentic AI projects.
