Summary
Full-stack engineer and systems thinker with a background in pharmaceutical and medical device quality. I build production-grade developer tools, ML-powered platforms, and infrastructure that unlocks shipping velocity and strategic leverage for teams. I combine backend engineering, local AI deployment, and cloud architecture to eliminate friction and reduce cost across the software lifecycle.

Experience
Founder & Systems Engineer — jasenc.dev — Sep 2024 – Present
- Built Bun Stack: a production-grade fullstack framework using Bun, React, and TypeScript. Enabled teams to deploy secure, full-featured apps in under 30 seconds.
- Architected and deployed local-first LLM infrastructure using Open WebUI + Ollama. Self-hosted Microsoft Phi-4 with custom APIs for inference, cutting cloud AI spend by over 60%.
- Designed and deployed a K-means clustering-based recipe recommendation engine using Python, scikit-learn, and Streamlit. Optimized clustering using silhouette scoring and feature selection.
- Built full ML pipeline: preprocessing, model training, deployment with Docker to Railway. Achieved <1s latency under real load.
- Replaced a custom React blog with VitePress in a 24-hour sprint. Implemented structured metadata, automated CI/CD, and dual-hosted on Railway and Netlify.
- Launched SPA portfolio platform using Vite, React Router, and Chakra UI with MDX support. Serves as a content system and technical showcase.
