I build software for ABA therapy.
Founding engineer on a production, HIPAA-regulated platform, owned end to end: clinical data, an offline-first app clinicians use in the field, and the AWS it runs on. Four years before that going from frontend work to whole-system ownership.
// currently: clinical scheduling, a Go side project, and the writing below.
- Founding engineer on a production, HIPAA-regulated ABA therapy platform, owning features end to end across backend services, web and native clients, and cloud infrastructure.
- Designed the auth and security model: organization-enforced MFA, PIN-gated access for shared clinical devices, and HIPAA audit logging.
- Built the offline-first React Native clinician app with local data sync, image caching, and secure session access so clinicians work reliably in the field without connectivity.
- Shipped reporting and analytics in the React web app: clinical progress dashboards and program KPIs powered by MongoDB aggregation pipelines.
- Operate the AWS infrastructure as code with Terraform, including automated credential rotation, security hardening, and observability across logs, metrics, and alerts. Own CI/CD to production via GitHub Actions.
- Multiply delivery velocity by directing agentic AI tools across the stack while personally owning architecture, review, security, and production quality.
- A single-binary TUI that discovers TCP servers listening on localhost, shows the owning process, and lets you open, kill, label, and filter them.
- My first Go project, shipped through a Homebrew tap and GitHub Releases with four platform binaries and checksums.
- This site borrows its concept. Install it: brew install jeramiahgcoffey/tap/portview
- A PARA-organized knowledge vault wired into Claude Code. It is the engine behind learning in public and every draft in writing.log.
- Built an interactive Genogram product so caseworkers analyze client relationships, document family dynamics, and identify placement options.
- Designed accessible, validated React forms for assessments, case plans, and critical incidents, formatted to state regulations and backed by type-safe REST APIs.
- Built a custom React Hook Form service that let several data-collection products share visualization and PDF download and storage.
- Led the design, development, and deployment of an enterprise staffing and financial-planning tool.
- Mentored interns and junior developers through technical guidance and pair-programming on complex stories.
- Spearheaded a technical-debt initiative: configured ESLint, established a unit-testing framework, and upgraded packages.
- Built modular single-page Loan Origination System and Customer Portal components.
- Designed efficient asynchronous algorithms for actions requiring chained HTTP calls, and migrated the date library from Moment.js to Luxon.
- Prepared products for CI/CD with Jest and Vue Test Utils, plus PHPUnit for API logic.
I poured drinks before I wrote software. Bartending is reading a room, working a queue under pressure, and getting small details right when they matter, which turned out to be better preparation for engineering than it sounds.
I went back for a CS degree at WGU while working, then spent four years moving from frontend-leaning full stack to owning features end to end. The turning point was a genogram tool at KVC, where owning one feature from the database to the pixels changed how I think about building software.
Now I am the founding engineer on an ABA therapy platform, which means clinical data, HIPAA, offline-first mobile, and cloud infrastructure all land on my desk. I care about the unglamorous parts: auth that holds up, data models that match the domain, and tools that respect the person using them.
Almost nobody talks publicly about engineering for ABA therapy. I want to be one of the people who does, and to think out loud about what the job becomes when AI writes more of the code.
