01 / SELECTED WORK

The work behind
the words.

Business systems and creative delivery share a foundation: understand the need, define the work, test it, and help people use it.

AI & platform implementation

Current work, with its stage clearly stated.

01

OPERATIONS / DATA / APPLICATION DELIVERY

Internal prototype

RMS OS

Giving restaurant outreach an operational backbone.

An internal operations application built around a working prospect dataset of approximately 180 restaurants, with connected records for contacts, interactions, board intake and follow-ups.

  • Supabase
  • SQL & relational data
  • AI-assisted Next.js delivery
My role & implementation scope +

Business need

Organize prospect, relationship and follow-up information while preserving canonical restaurant identities.

My contribution

Requirements, scope, relational data modeling, independent database/platform configuration and acceptance testing. Directed AI-assisted Next.js/TypeScript development.

Current evidence

Development functions include authenticated operator access and restaurant, contact, interaction, board-intake and follow-up workflows. Internal prototype; paying-customer adoption is not claimed.

03 / ABOUT

Technical depth.
A human point of view.

I’m Reginald, usually Reggie. My career has moved between systems, customer support, immersive platforms, business ownership and creative production. The common thread is helping people do something useful with technology.

I independently configure databases, SQL and platform services. In AI-assisted application work, I own business requirements, scope decisions, priorities and acceptance testing while directing the development process.

My creative background helps me explain complex ideas, see the experience from a user’s perspective and communicate across business and technical teams.
