// INDEX PORTFOLIO / 2026
Jeff Grant systems engineer, shipping production web.
I build typed, performant web applications end-to-end: schema, server logic, and the design system they ship on. Recent builds are below, along with how to start one.

Engagement models, scoped up front.
Two primary ways to work together. Each is priced and scoped in writing before we start; no surprise hourly line items.
// PRIMARY
[ 01 ] ACTIVE
Custom Web & Application Development
End-to-end delivery of production web systems, from schema to ship. Typed, performant, and accessible by default.
- SvelteKit, TypeScript, Postgres
- Server-driven, edge-deployed
- Design systems, not one-off pages
- Auth, payments, and webhooks, wired correctly
// SECONDARY
[ 02 ] ADD-ON
Fedora Migration Service
Move off macOS or Windows onto a tuned Fedora workstation: dotfiles, dev tooling, and daily drivers configured.
- Hardware audit & driver validation
- Dev environment parity
- Dotfiles & shell ergonomics
- Post-migration support window

The stack behind the studio.
Self-hosted, observed, and running now — shown as evidence, not a diagram. This is the operational spine the work ships on.

[ 04 ] // ABOUT
Engineer first. Designer when the work needs it.
Ten years shipping production web systems across fintech, infrastructure, and tooling. I take work end-to-end: equally comfortable in a database schema, a TypeScript generic, and a visual hierarchy.
Preference for typed languages, trunk-based workflows, and observability wired in before launch. I think in diagrams and ship in small increments.
// PHILOSOPHY: The code is the spec. Everything else is notes.
