§ 01 What I do
Software
custom backend, system glue
Payment processing. API integrations. Back-office systems. The internal tools nobody else wants to build. The glue between four vendors that decides whether the business runs on Monday.
Evidence - GateSync, a B2B SaaS I built for gate operations. Now in production.
AI (in production)
RAG, agents, evals, routing
Retrieval pipelines that don't hallucinate quietly. Agent workflows that recover from a 500. Eval harnesses that tell you whether the new prompt is actually better. Model routing between OpenAI and Anthropic for cost and latency.
Evidence - Shipped OpenAI and Anthropic integrations handling real traffic. Not demos.
Web
when the backend is already the hard part
Marketing sites and product surfaces that ship to spec, with the backend already wired. Static where it should be, dynamic where it has to be. Astro, Cloudflare, edge functions, picked because they work, not because they're new.
Evidence - SiteForge operates a 100-site portfolio from a single CLI.
§ 02 Receipts
GateSync
B2B SaaS · 2023-
Gate access for property operators. Residents grant entry by text message. Payment processing, access control, audit trail.
Production, paying customers
web-tarpit
Open source library · 2024
A small library that costs misbehaving scrapers something. Drop it in front of an endpoint.
Used in production across the portfolio
