How I Architected the ResolveAI Backend: FastAPI, AWS Lambda, DynamoDB, and Event-Driven AI Workloads
A practical look at the serverless backend behind ResolveAI: why I chose FastAPI on Lambda, DynamoDB access patterns, Firebase auth, SQS workers, and EventBridge scheduling.
ResolveAI needed a backend that could move fast like a startup without collapsing under AI features, subscriptions, caregiver workflows, and sensitive user data. I built it as a serverless Python platform around FastAPI, Lambda, API Gateway, DynamoDB, SQS, EventBridge, and tightly controlled external integrations.

From Lambda Calls to Agentic AI: Exploring Amazon Bedrock for AI Architects and Engineers
How AI architects and engineers targeting AWS can think about RAG, agents, flows, streaming, and the new GenAI control plane with Amazon Bedrock.
For many AI architects and engineers, the first GenAI choice was direct model APIs like OpenAI. We are now in the second or third inning of AI with agentic models, and Bedrock can become a better AWS-native choice depending on requirements for governance, orchestration, RAG, and operational control.

How I Designed Resolve Reinvent Flutter Architecture
A deep dive into the Dart-first, cross-platform architecture behind Resolve Reinvent: why I chose explicit state, built for iOS, Android, and web with minimal changes, and added a secure admin layer on top.
I built Resolve Reinvent around a Dart-first architecture so I could ship iOS, Android, and web from one codebase with virtually no changes. I chose ValueNotifier, ChangeNotifier, BasePage, explicit service boundaries, and a secure admin layer because I wanted speed without giving up control, observability, or long-term maintainability.

We Need to Kill the Term "Vibe Coding"
The term "vibe coding" obscures more than it reveals. Great teams are converging on "agentic engineering," "AI-assisted software engineering," and "supervised generation" — disciplined, spec-driven development where humans steer and AI accelerates.
We need to kill the term "vibe coding" and replace it with better frames: "agentic engineering," "AI-assisted software engineering," and "supervised generation." AI can remove accidental complexity, but it cannot replace judgment, architecture, code reading, testing discipline, and production ownership.

Announcing Resolve Care Circle: Care for the People You Love — Without Burning Yourself Out
Resolve Solutions LLC launches Resolve Care Circle inside Resolve Reinvent — a private, AI-powered space for caregivers to track loved ones, share with family, and protect themselves from burnout.
Caregiving was never meant to be a solo job. Quietly, millions of people are looking out for someone they love — an aging parent, a partner navigating a hard season, a kid struggling, a sibling out of town, a friend who became chosen family. Resolve Care Circle takes that invisible weight and gives it a place to live. Available now inside Resolve Reinvent on iOS, Android, and the web.

Why FFT Social Is Different: A New Kind of Social Platform Built for Better Thinking
Discover why FFT Social was built, what makes it different from traditional social media, and how it helps people share ideas, challenge assumptions, and have better conversations online.
Social media was supposed to connect us, but connection got replaced by noise and outrage. FFT Social was built around one core belief: the internet works better when people are encouraged to think, not just react.

AI Coding, GIGO, and the Return of First Principles
AI does not repeal computer science — it accelerates it. Why bad requirements still produce bad software, only faster, and what the human role looks like now.
I had a coffee cup in 1979 that said GIGO: Garbage In, Garbage Out. That pretty much sums up where we are with AI coding today. Everybody wants to believe this time is completely different. In some ways, it is — the speed, the cost curve, the tooling, the accessibility. A single person can now build what used to take a small team. But the fundamentals are not different. Everything we really needed to know about building software, we basically learned in the 1950s, 60s, and 70s…

My Founder Story: From Startup Engineer to Building Resolve Solutions
How 30+ years across startups and enterprise healthcare, plus the rise of AI, led me to launch Resolve Reinvent and found Resolve Solutions LLC.
As a seasoned software engineer, I've had a successful career spanning multiple industries, with a big part of my early work being in startups. I'd love to share my unique professional background and how it led to my own founder story. I've always had a passion for creating products, and over the years I built a few ideas of my own. Some required too much capital, and others demanded more time and risk than I could realistically take on while balancing family life and career. Eventually, I landed at a major healthcare insurance company, where I grew into a stable role across solution architecture, app development, and cloud platform integration with AWS at scale…
