Foundational SaaS platform bootstrap | Forge Platform

I'm a veteran software engineer with deep experience in cloud infrastructure, distributed systems, DevOps, and high-performance backend engineering. A recurring pattern across my career has been seeing early-stage startups spend disproportionate time rebuilding the same foundational infrastructure before they can meaningfully validate their product. That observation led me to build Forge Platform - an AWS-native infrastructure foundation designed to help small teams move from post-prototype to production without needing to assemble a dedicated platform engineering function. It focuses on giving startups production-grade deployment, security, and operational capabilities from day one while preserving full ownership and flexibility.
