Projects

Work that shows how the systems actually operate

These projects show how complex systems are designed, built, deployed, observed, and scaled in practice across Platform Engineering, Data Platform Engineering, Agent Systems, and Applied Analytics, with fullstack application engineering as the delivery vehicle for the UIs, dashboards, and APIs in each domain.

Platform · 2023 – Present

Rusha

Production platform system for building, validating, deploying, and operating software on Kubernetes. Combines GitOps-driven delivery, event-driven application architecture, multi-tenant namespace isolation, in-cluster builds, deployment templates, shared operational guardrails, and VCS integration across API, UI, and service layers. Serves the Platform Engineering domain.

AI · 2024 – Present

Agentic Systems

Production agent systems spanning multi-agent orchestration, domain-specific research agents, runtime-backed workflows, profile distributions, and model-gateway infrastructure. The work includes Kubernetes-based deployments, NATS-backed specialist routing, OpenAI-compatible and Ollama-facing gateway layers, approval paths, observability, and domain workflows for biodiversity, policy, and analytical operations, with Hermes used as one runtime within that stack. Serves the Agent Systems domain.

Data · 2023 – Present

TierraViva AI

Biodiversity intelligence platform that ingests and mines policy, biodiversity, patent, and research data, processes it through GitOps-managed cloud data infrastructure, serves it through APIs and web interfaces, and makes it available to agents for analysis, navigation, reporting, and decision support. Its implementation spans document and research corpora, ETL and orchestration systems, Spark and analytics infrastructure, serving layers, and agent-consumable knowledge workflows. Serves the Data Platform Engineering and Applied Analytics domains.

Portfolio System · 2025

faenx.github.io

This portfolio — a shader-first cinematic 3D experience built with React Three Fiber, custom GLSL shaders, and CPU-driven physics. Features a Tech DNA neural-network hero derived from real project data, kinetic typography, and an immersive world of project zones. No GPU compute required: runs on any integrated-graphics device at 60fps desktop / 30fps mobile.
