Based in Fort Myers, Florida

with decades of experience across web, mobile, 3D, and AI
About Me
Hi, I'm L.J. (there's a story behind that!). I'm an experienced software engineer in Fort Myers, with a passion for solving real-world problems in a robust, efficient, secure, and Godly way. I practice keeping Jesus at the center in my code, and others have participated in the benefits of doing this as well.
With extensive experience across the full stack, I've built everything from AI-powered business platforms and 3D game engines to mobile apps and enterprise systems. I architect AI automation systems using SvelteKit 2, Cloudflare Workers, and LLM integrations (Gemini, Claude, etc...), and have led technical development for businesses ranging from small startups to enterprise-scale platforms.
My expertise includes modern frontend (SvelteKit, React), backend systems (Python/Django, Rust, Rails, Phoenix), AI/ML integration, cloud architecture (Cloudflare, AWS, Google Cloud), and DevOps. I specialize in building complex automation systems, 3D graphics, and ministry-focused platforms.
I am seeking challenging freelance or contract opportunities, locally or remotely, where I can leverage my skills to serve others and contribute to sharing the good news of Jesus Christ globally.
