About

Engineer, CTO, and CISSP with decades of building software — mostly healthtech and regulated SaaS, through a few acquisitions along the way. These days I direct AI coding agents to build small, focused tools. DLEncoder is one of them: the AAMVA test-data generator I wanted and couldn't find without a signup wall.

DLEncoder - AAMVA PDF417 test barcodes, in your browser

DLEncoder generates AAMVA-compliant PDF417 barcodes — the data on the back of US driver licenses and IDs — for engineering and QA testing. Unlike other tools, it requires no signup and gives full control over every field and jurisdiction subfile. Covers both the v10 and the new v11 (2025 CDS) standards. It also decodes and diagnoses real scans, flagging preamble, CRLF, and length issues. Runs entirely in your browser — nothing uploads. Free.
