Experience

Coast Software operates home-service businesses (remodeling, landscaping, seasonal installation) and builds the software platforms that run them.

• Designed and built osprey, an integration/automation backend: AWS Lambda + API Gateway on Terraform-provisioned infrastructure (CloudFront, WAF, SSM-managed secrets), CI-gated via GitHub Actions with Vitest coverage thresholds.
• Hardened osprey's webhook delivery with SSRF-protected outbound requests and a designed idempotency-key/DLQ pattern for reliability.
• Built coast-crm, a multi-tenant CRM (Next.js in a container on AWS Lambda behind CloudFront) instrumented end-to-end with OpenTelemetry → Honeycomb; also shipped clutterclear (AI vision-based resale-estimate app) and three client marketing sites (Astro/Tailwind, Lighthouse CI gates, Playwright e2e).
• Operate multiple home-service businesses directly, giving every product decision above real operator context rather than assumptions.
