Late-night field notes

Jordan Gopie

I build software in the part of the job where product ideas meet dates, client pressure, deployment constraints, and code that has to keep working after the demo.

Current margin note

The useful work usually starts after the clean diagram stops being true.

This site is less a pitch than a record: what broke, what shipped, what I learned, and where software helped a real workflow become less fragile.

The writing is intentionally uneven in age. Older notes stay visible because they show the route, not just the current posture.

Ledger

A few shipped things, compressed into their pressure points.

01

claim flow

MLS Broker Portal

Full-stack build across React, Python, Firebase, Cloud Run, and async tasking.

Designed listing detail surfaces and atomic claim-to-CRM behavior for work where duplicate ownership would have caused real operational pain.

02

automation

Permit & Property Verification Pipeline

Solo pipeline owner using Python, TypeScript, FastAPI, Playwright, PostgreSQL, and Docker.

Turned brittle jurisdiction research into scheduled verification runs with integration coverage and fewer production surprises.

03

handoff

WhatsApp AI Intake Automation

Technical owner across Next.js, PostgreSQL, Prisma, WhatsApp Cloud API, OpenAI, and OAuth.

Built structured triage, auditable summaries, human escalation, and case-management syncing for a conversational intake path.
