.04Work

asyncapi-codegen

REV: 01
Challenge

Distributed systems teams waste weeks hand-writing async messaging boilerplate for every new service.

Approach

Go code generator that reads AsyncAPI specs and produces production-ready client and server code automatically.

Impact

Open-source tool eliminating manual boilerplate — shipping messaging infrastructure 10x faster.

GoAsyncAPIDistributed SystemsOpen Source

t4t — Tag-based Filesystem

REV: 02
Challenge

Hierarchical folder structures break down as projects and contexts multiply across a developer's filesystem.

Approach

Tag-based CLI that replaces rigid folders with composable, searchable metadata. Think tags, not trees.

Impact

Open-source. Enables cross-cutting organization without duplicating or moving files.

GoCLIDeveloper ToolingOpen Source

Language Platform Infrastructure

REV: 03
Challenge

Scaling one of the largest US language services platforms from monolith to distributed architecture.

Approach

12-year progression: decomposed monolith into microservices, built mobile platforms, led distributed systems design.

Impact

Production infrastructure serving millions of interpretation minutes across healthcare and telecom.

.05Testimonials
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.
