Case Studies

A portfolio of production, pilot, prototype, and R&D work.

VIFG is still the strongest public proof. The rest of the work stays visible so you can see what is live, what is in pilot, what is a prototype or academic build, and what is still under active development.

Production

Featured public production proof

VIFG leads because it is the clearest public example of long-term delivery, accessibility ownership, operational responsibility, and production stewardship.

Public Production ProofProductionFeatured proof

VIFG Nonprofit Platform

Production platform and delivery stack supporting a nonprofit serving the visually impaired community.

Problem

Mission-driven organizations need dependable public systems, but production reliability and accessibility often get treated as separate concerns instead of one delivery problem.

Result

Production site serving VIFG nonprofit since 2020, deployed on AWS Lightsail with automated CI/CD and TLS termination

What I owned

Sole engineer for architecture, frontend, infrastructure, and deployment

Public-facing proof

Live site at vifg.org/home, backed by repeatable deployment, accessibility support, and ongoing nonprofit operational stewardship.

Pilot / client-facing

Operational workflows being tested in the field

Pilot systems show where real workflows are already moving through the software, even if the product is not yet at full production maturity.

Prototype / academic

Technical proof with honest limits

Prototype and academic work stays visible for technical review, but it does not outrank public production proof. WeatherForge and RAGeATM belong here until they have production usage evidence.

WeatherForge

A Minnesota severe-weather analytics dashboard that turns large NOAA weather datasets into county-level risk views, cleaned analytics layers, and decision-support reporting surfaces.

RAGeATM

A small explainable Retrieval-Augmented Generation prototype that retrieves local evidence first, applies a relevance threshold, and refuses unsupported questions when the corpus does not justify an answer.

R&D / active build

Early-stage systems with clear architecture and workflow logic

R&D work shows how automation boundaries, validation, data movement, and system design are handled before production rollout. DGM and StormIQ stay positioned as active build direction, not finished products.
