Twenty years of production engineering. Current AI tooling. Complete features ship in days.
You work directly with the senior engineer who writes the code.
A bad deploy is an incident, not a bug.
Two decades of production systems: investment banking, commodities trading, data platforms, B2B commerce, media, consumer services. Environments where a failed release costs real money. The standard comes from there.
A four-year engagement leading the Hostettler B2B commerce platform's build and cloud migration: 300,000 products in production on AWS. Architecture, DevOps, and the remote-team shipping culture that got it out the door. End-to-end ownership. This is the shape of work Avant Media is built for.
Days, not sprints.
Speed is a property of the verification stack: static analysis, end-to-end tests, and a deploy gate on every change. MushRoom is the proof — a multi-tenant property-management platform, AI-integrated, running in production.
The stack changes. The standard holds.
Twenty years spans several platform shifts — the browser became the platform, the racks became the cloud, deploys became automated, language models arrived. Each shipped to production under the same standard. AI is the current shift. It goes out through the same gate.
Language models into legacy codebases, without breaking them: real users, real data, real regulatory constraints.
MushRoom ships an OAuth-authenticated MCP server: Claude and other AI clients read and update live bookings, finances, and tax data through property-scoped tools — an LLM wired into a multi-tenant product, deployed every day.
Architecture, code review, hiring, deploy practice — for founders and small teams building something that has to hold up. An adult in the room when the stakes get real.
Senior engineering applied to client work since 2013. MushRoom is the working example of what good looks like.
Avant Media's own product. Mobile-first property management for short-term lets, built around how the work actually runs — on a phone, mid-changeover.
In production: NTAK reporting for Hungary, Airbnb calendar sync, multi-tenant from day one, MCP-accessible to Claude and other AI clients, automated invoicing, real-time P&L.
Senior engineering plus current AI tooling, applied end to end — the approach behind the Hostettler platform and MushRoom.
