Platform Architecture & Shared Systems
- Designed a shared-kit architecture where common functionality — auth, forms, payments, directory listings, events, and music — ships as independent, versioned libraries; new clients and projects inherit a proven foundation rather than starting from scratch.
- Built multi-tenant federated SSO via a central auth broker: one users database, per-site branding, and role-routing (admin/employee/member) — a single auth system serving an entire portfolio of sites with minimal per-site configuration.
- Codifies every project's business logic, data model, and AI context in a structured SOUL file before engineering begins — ensures alignment between business goals and technical decisions throughout the lifecycle.
- Maintains production-grade standards across every site: clean URLs, PDO prepared statements, DB-backed sessions, CSRF tokens, bcrypt, WCAG AA accessibility, and automated health checks as a hard launch gate.
AI-First Engineering with Claude Code
- Uses Claude Code as a primary development environment — multi-agent parallel execution, custom MCP server integration for programmatic codebase access, and a persistent memory system that retains full project context across sessions.
- Builds AI workflows that replace entire team functions: parallel audit agents, competitive intelligence pipelines, automated data enrichment, and architecture validation — all running while writing feature code.
- Applies a model-routing strategy (lightweight models for validation, capable models for implementation, reasoning-optimized models for architecture) to match AI capability to task complexity.
- Every UI change flows through a structured pipeline: design tokens → component spec → accessibility audit → performance check → documentation — consistency without a design team.
Case Study: Oregon Tires Auto Care — Shop Management Platform → oregon.tires
- Client had no digital system for managing repair orders, customer vehicles, or estimates. Built a complete bilingual (EN/ES) shop management platform: appointment booking with VIN decode and license plate lookup, digital vehicle inspections with photo attachments and traffic-light condition ratings, repair order lifecycle from intake through invoicing, and customer-facing estimate approval with per-line-item decisions.
- Replaced the need for multiple separate tools with one integrated system running on the client's existing hosting — no new vendor contracts, no monthly SaaS fees.
- Added automated appointment reminders, Google Reviews integration, and Google Calendar sync — reducing manual staff follow-up while improving the customer experience.
- Entire customer-facing experience renders in English or Spanish based on browser preference, making the shop accessible to Portland's Spanish-speaking community without a separate site.
Case Study: PDX Directory — Portland Neighborhood Business Platform → pdx.directory
- Identified a gap in Portland's business directory market: established associations charging hundreds of dollars per year with broad city-wide focus and no neighborhood-level depth. Built a directory anchored in neighborhood specificity at a fraction of the price.
- Conducted a full competitive analysis across Portland's business associations before writing a line of code — used findings to validate the pricing model, define sponsorship tiers, and identify which neighborhoods had the most unmet demand.
- Built a neighborhood data pipeline with Wikipedia-verified population data, anchor/tenant business classification, and automated data quality checks that catch errors before they reach production.
- Designed to expand: the same codebase powers separate branded properties for Portland restaurants, catering, retail, and community — each with its own identity, all sharing one infrastructure.
Hip-Hop Platform Network
- Architected hiphop.world as the central hub for a regional hip-hop platform network — a single auth system and shared codebase powering independent regional sites with per-region branding, events, artist profiles, and community features.
- Built regional community platforms for the DC/MD/VA market (dmvrap.com), the Buffalo/Albany/Rochester/Syracuse market (bars.gives), and Portland — each with independent identity on shared infrastructure.
- Engineered mozaycalloway.com as a complete artist platform: electronic press kit, merch store, community hub, sponsorship tiers, and event calendar — a full web presence from a single engagement.
