## Services

### One-off builds

A defined problem with a clear finish line. A new app, a stubborn integration, or a rescue of something half-built.

- Custom Rails + Hotwire apps
- APIs and third-party integrations
- Legacy upgrades and migrations

### Workflow automation

Find the repetitive work hiding in your week and hand it to software — with checkpoints wherever judgment matters.

- Agentic workflows with human review
- Inbox, document, and data processing
- Reporting and alerts that run themselves

### Long-term & staff augmentation

A senior engineer embedded in your team — your standups, your repo, your process — for as long as you need one.

- Ongoing product development
- Code review and architecture
- Bringing AI tooling into your team’s workflow

## Where AI fits — and where it doesn't

Good fit: reading messy inputs (emails, PDFs, forms); first drafts a person reviews; summarizing feedback, tickets and notes; routing work to the right place.

Not a fit: decisions someone must answer for; work where "mostly right" is wrong; problems plain code already solves; replacing the people who know your customers.

## How Caleb works

1. **Listen** — understand the actual problem and how the work happens today.
2. **Map** — map the workflow, find what's repetitive, and propose the simplest thing that works, with a clear scope before any build.
3. **Build** — small, tested releases you can see working early.
4. **Hand off** — documentation, training, and code you own.

## Selected work

- [NexGen Guest](https://eastonandcode.com/work/nexgen-guest.md) — Hospitality platform. As development and operations lead for a hotel guest-experience platform, I'm moving the app from Rails 6 and MongoDB to Rails 8 and PostgreSQL, and building features like digital tipping and AI analysis of guest feedback — while hotels keep using it every day.
- [Sagiliti](https://eastonandcode.com/work/sagiliti.md) — Utility bill management platform. I work on Sagiliti's Rails-based utility bill management platform alongside a distributed team spread across time zones — shipping features and reviewing pull requests so work keeps moving around the clock.
- [1905 New Media](https://eastonandcode.com/work/1905-new-media.md) — Agency partnership. I'm a contract developer for 1905 New Media, a marketing agency — building, rescuing and extending WordPress sites for their clients, and working inside their team's process so the code reads like their own.
