Hi, I'm Kennedy 👋

Founder of WorkRecord (AI SaaS) · Self-taught full-stack engineer · U.S. Air Force veteran

I build and ship. I taught myself to code, founded an AI-powered SaaS company, and run it end to end — front end, back end, infrastructure, and deploys — out of a self-hosted home lab. Six years in the Air Force working F-16 fuel systems taught me how to stay calm, work the problem, and figure out whatever the job requires. That's still how I build.

Based in Sumter, SC. Currently going deeper on software and systems engineering.

🚀 What I'm building

WorkRecord — Founder & Full-Stack Engineer An AI-powered work-history and resume-building SaaS. React front end, Node/Express back end, Anthropic API for role-targeted resume generation and candidate–job compatibility scoring. Built and shipped solo across 40+ iterative releases; real users, including one hired and another who landed three interviews using resumes the platform generated. Repo private (protecting IP pre-trademark) — live demo available on request.

AcornGames — Full-Stack Developer A self-hosted game-server management hub. React + Vite dashboard, Node/Express API with JWT auth, PostgreSQL, role-based access control, and remote server start/stop/restart. Built with streamers and communities in mind.

Home Lab Infrastructure — Infrastructure & DevOps A Linux home lab running multiple live web apps behind Cloudflare Tunnels with PM2 and scripted deploys. Where I learned DNS, reverse proxying, SSL, and how to debug real networking problems that don't come with clean error messages.

crypto-trader — Python An automated trading project built on the Alpaca API.

🛠️ Tech I work with

JavaScript Python React Node.js Express PostgreSQL Linux Git Cloudflare Raspberry Pi

Also: AI-assisted development (Claude, ChatGPT, Gemini), Anthropic API, Vite, PM2, NFC, 3D printing.
