About

A small software studio run by Tim Brinded.

Smooth Brains is a one-person software studio based in London. I'm Tim Brinded, a developer at Moonsong Labs, where I work on blockchain infrastructure and developer tooling in the Substrate ecosystem.

Outside of my day job, I build things under the Smooth Brains banner — side projects, prototypes, and experiments across blockchain, AI, and developer tools. The studio exists to ship small, focused things rather than chase scale.

I studied at Imperial College London and have been building software professionally for over a decade, with a focus on TypeScript, Rust, and Solidity. I'm particularly interested in testing infrastructure, on-chain applications, and the intersection of AI with developer workflows.
