AI-First Software Architect — Founder of Tektonomy

I architect the reusable substrate beneath production software: component libraries as platforms, embeddable microfrontends, public SDK surfaces with backwards-compatibility contracts, multi-tenant theming systems, and codebase migrations. Nine-plus years across React, Next.js, Vue/Nuxt, Angular, Node, PHP, and Python.

Architecture is the context; AI is the executor. Instruct, constrain, review. Small open models with rich context beat large models with shallow prompts.

• Lead Software Engineer at VONQ — architecting HAPI Elements, the SDK + embeddable-widget platform that lets ATSs drop in VONQ's Hiring API. Compressed partner integration timelines from years to weeks.
• Founder, Tektonomy — an umbrella for sovereign builders, holding three incubating ventures (Theraquis, VectArch, Cohortica). Operating system documented in The Pact.
• Currently going deeper on context engineering for small open models, spec-driven AI workflows, and MCP-native tooling.

• HAPI Elements — production SDK + widget platform for VONQ's Hiring API. Public types package: @vonq/hapi-elements-types. Stack: Next.js · TypeScript · Tailwind · MobX · Fumadocs · Docker · AWS ECS · Playwright.
• HonestCash — open-source Medium-style publishing platform; authors earn Bitcoin Cash via reader upvotes. Angular 8 Universal · NgRx · Node · MySQL.
• FFN Frontend Library (internal at FriendFinder Networks) — React + TypeScript + MobX + CSS-Variables-driven theming substrate now powering hundreds of affiliate/co-brand sites; included a mobile/desktop live-streaming player over WebRTC + Wowza + Nanoplayer.
• gulp-sftp-with-callbacks — small published npm utility for SFTP deploy lifecycle hooks.
• Tektonomy — an umbrella, not an empire. Companies & directory · The Pact.

Also production-deep in: Angular (8+ Universal), Vue/Nuxt, Node, Express, NestJS, PHP (Slim, Laravel), MySQL/PostgreSQL/MongoDB, WebRTC/WebSockets/Wowza, Solidity/web3.js (Bitcoin Cash).

Tooling I lean on daily: Cursor, Claude Code, MCP, n8n, LangChain.

• Build the substrate first — one component system, many product surfaces.
• Documentation is part of the product. If it isn't written down, it doesn't exist.
• Backwards-compatibility is a contract, not a courtesy.
• AI is a force multiplier for engineers who already know the shape of the system.
