Lead Software Engineer who takes products from zero to shipped.
I run Forsaeti, a productized ops & build studio. I join teams as a full-stack engineer who owns delivery end to end, from product shape to a shipped, useful result.
About
I’m a Lead Software Engineer who ships production systems and turns operational bottlenecks into live products.
Through Forsaeti I’ve taken products from idea to shipped, shaping the workflow, building the full-stack system, and delivering client work people can use. AI is part of the toolkit when it serves the product: agents, RAG, LLMs, and local inference.
Before going independent: CNA National (Java/Angular modernization), Infosys (AWS microservices migration), and production leadership at Propagate / Fuse Media. I own the stack: frontend, backend, deploy, and the AI capabilities that support the work.
Clear communication. Honest scoping. No ghost jobs. Insert me into your team or hire the studio. Same operator.
Case studies
Same work deck as the studio: products I shipped, demos I built, and Expo prototypes with honest status labels.
I designed and shipped the productized desk that drafts SIG Lite / CAIQ / custom security questionnaires from a client evidence pack, so deals don’t die in procurement.

RFP → Section L/M/C-style compliance matrix + response outline. I built the offer, the site, and the delivery shape so capture teams get structure without surrendering the bid.

End-to-end site I shipped for a Coldwell Banker REALTOR® across Hawaiʻi Island: brand, listings path, valuation CTA.

Caracas-facing portal for the Venezuela diaspora. I’m building the MVP now. Ask for a walkthrough of the current cut.
I built this Expo strength/run tracker with photo-lift timeline, local SQLite, and session logging. Works in Expo Go, not on any App Store.
I shipped a demo rebuild of stepsurefloors.com in Next.js / Tailwind: services, gallery, contact, and local SEO blog tooling. Demo/pitch site, not the live client domain.
I built EN↔ES practice with an AI conversation partner and live native-speaker matching (text + voice). Expo, Supabase, LiveKit. Development build, not a store app.
I shipped this Expo nest/egg incubation tracker: batches by marker color, chick photos, lockdown nudges, and brooder schedule. Expo Go prototype; not on any store.
Experience
Built and shipped full-stack products under Forsaeti, including Questionnaire Desk, Bid Matrix Desk, and client builds. Designed multi-agent and RAG-powered systems with LangChain, Ollama, GPT-4o, and local inference, choosing the right capability for the product and owning the work through deployment.
Led a client portal upgrade across Java, Angular, Drupal, and AWS. Built Spring Boot microservices, led an Angular migration, integrated Okta authentication, and optimized bundle sizes for improved rendering and security.
Led an AWS cloud migration for large-scale systems. Built Java/Spring Boot/Hibernate features and owned the Agile SDLC from requirements through deployment.
Managed projects and cross-functional teams in content production. Drove process efficiency, collaboration systems, and delivery across large-scale media operations.
