Selected work

Built, shipped, maintained.

Five systems worth a full story, and a shelf of smaller builds. Everything here ran in production for real users — that's the bar for making the page.

Fortune-100 production infrastructure

Professional · 4 years

Enterprise Web Platform on Azure

Full-stack platform work at Starbucks: React and Node on a segmented Azure VM fleet, SAML SSO against an enterprise IdP, a Cosmos-to-Mongo migration, and NiFi pipelines feeding ERP systems.

  • Backend API never publicly exposed — private NSG rules, reachable only from the frontend subnet inside the VNET
  • SAML SSO federated against Starbucks' Microsoft IdP, with an Express BFF keeping tokens off the client
  • Migrated the backend from Cosmos DB + Redis to MongoDB, simplifying the stack and cutting cost
  • React
  • Node.js / Express
  • MongoDB
  • Azure VMs + App Service
  • Azure Front Door
  • SAML / Passport.js

  • Mobile-first PWA technician portal with role-based views and job submissions

A custom multi-agent orchestrator, built from scratch

Self-directed · 2026 — active

AFO Agent OS

A 24/7 multi-agent AI system running my agency's operations: a Node orchestrator and workers on a VPS, PocketBase for state and memory, a Next.js command center on Vercel, and Telegram as the interaction surface — with an approval gate enforced in code.

  • Chose to build a custom orchestrator instead of adopting an off-the-shelf agent runtime — and can defend why
  • Consolidates all agent output into a single digest with a human approval gate enforced in code, not convention
  • Deliberate placement of every piece: agent loop on the VPS, UI on Vercel, no open inbound ports on the VPS
  • Node.js
  • Next.js
  • PocketBase
  • Telegram Bot API
  • VPS (Linux)
  • Claude / LLM APIs

An agency's worth of production sites, one maintainable system

Founder / Operator · Ongoing

The Client-Site Engine

A fleet of live client sites for local businesses on a custom Eleventy/CodeStitch stack — performance-first, SEO-driven, and maintained by one engineer — now being turned into an AI-assisted site-matching engine.

  • A fleet of production repositories for real local businesses — HVAC, law, restaurants, pest control, equine vets
  • Static-first stack chosen deliberately over CMS platforms for speed, security, and SEO
  • Near-perfect Lighthouse scores as a standard, not a special occasion
  • Eleventy
  • Astro
  • Next.js
  • CodeStitch
  • HTML/CSS
  • JavaScript

Automation that answers the phone

Founder / Operator · Ongoing

AI Lead Intake & Automation Pipelines

Productized AI and automation systems for local service businesses: a live conversation-AI intake bot, missed-call text-back, review funnels, and CRM pipelines — engineered on GoHighLevel and measured in booked jobs, not demos.

  • A live AI intake bot ('Alex') qualifying real inbound leads for a real service company, 24/7
  • Missed-call text-back and review funnels running as productized services across client accounts
  • Sub-account provisioning and A2P phone compliance handled as an engineering pipeline, not a checklist
  • GoHighLevel
  • Conversation AI
  • Webhooks / API integrations
  • Twilio-style SMS (A2P)
  • CRM pipeline design
  • Node.js scripting
