I've always been drawn to the edges where creativity and engineering blur — places where code isn't just logic, but a tool for human expression.

Over the last year, I've been building vesper.billyjf.com, a voice-powered AI tool born out of an accelerator program. It's designed to help people reframe self-limiting narratives in real time — part self-help experiment, part product prototype, and part love letter to the idea that technology should empower us to tell better stories about ourselves. Building Vesper pushed me deeper into Next.js, Typescript, React, and Postgres, while forcing me to think about UX at a soul level: how do you create software that listens, feels fluid, and meets people where they are?

Professionally, I've had the chance to lead DevOps, platform, and full-stack initiatives at places like Mighty Networks, Nike, and DAT Freight. I've migrated monoliths to microservices, cut infra costs, and scaled CI/CD pipelines across thousands of runs a day. But the through-line has always been the same: technology is most powerful when it disappears into the background and lets people do their most creative work.

I'm looking for a team where I can bring both sides of myself — the builder who can design resilient systems at scale, and the experimenter who can turn AI into something beautiful, useful, and maybe even a little bit soulful.
