"I use AI as an execution system, not as autocomplete. My workflow includes model-specific briefing files and persistent context systems to guide implementation, debugging, and architectural decisions."

Technical Approach

🧠AI orchestration across multiple models with model-specific briefing files (CLAUDE.md, AGENTS.md, GEMINI.md)
📐Context engineering using structured, persistent documentation to guide coherent AI output across sessions
🏗️Product architecture for multi-tenant systems, OAuth2 flows, webhook deduplication, caching, and composite indexes
🔍Structured debugging of real production issues and disciplined deploy workflows with strict TypeScript and full build validation

What makes me different as a vibe coder: I don't just "ask AI for code" — I design the context system that makes AI produce coherent, maintainable, and correct code. I understand enough engineering to validate, debug, and make architectural decisions. And I understand enough product to avoid building what nobody needs. The result: complete digital products, live in production, with real users — built by one person.
