Open-source tool eliminating manual boilerplate — shipping messaging infrastructure 10x faster.
t4t — Tag-based Filesystem
REV: 02Hierarchical folder structures break down as projects and contexts multiply across a developer's filesystem.
Tag-based CLI that replaces rigid folders with composable, searchable metadata. Think tags, not trees.
Open-source. Enables cross-cutting organization without duplicating or moving files.
Language Platform Infrastructure
REV: 03Scaling one of the largest US language services platforms from monolith to distributed architecture.
12-year progression: decomposed monolith into microservices, built mobile platforms, led distributed systems design.
Production infrastructure serving millions of interpretation minutes across healthcare and telecom.

Led mobile development and WCF service architecture at Amadeus IT Group for the global travel industry.
Production systems supporting major airlines worldwide with high-availability service infrastructure.
Jose is an extremely competent AI developer. In a very short time, he put together architectural documentation, determined which components each team member could take on and quickly delegated work. After development was complete, he also jumped into presenting to a group of software developers as part of the AI Trailblazers developer workshop series.
