Summary
Brian Taylor is a Principal Architect with over 25 years of experience designing resilient, secure, and scalable systems across enterprise, financial, and regulated environments. He combines deep hands-on engineering with executive-level stakeholder facilitation, turning complex technical trade-offs into business-aligned decisions and governance-ready architectures. Brian focuses on quality attributes—availability, security, maintainability, and long-term resilience—and applies a kaizen mindset to continually refine systems, processes, and team practices. Recently he has specialized in Bitcoin Layer 2 and Lightning integrations and in responsibly embedding AI/LLM capabilities into enterprise workflows with attention to governance, data quality, and explainability. As founder of 1M5 and operator of Resolving Architecture, he delivers advisory work, prototypes, and an AI-powered architecture assistant (Meridian) that detects pattern drift and boundary erosion in real time. His background also includes naval nuclear operations, a less obvious thread that underpins his discipline for safety, reliability, and rigorous operational thinking.
