Product Engineering Portfolio
Building useful products. Documenting the craft.
I’m Cory, a product-minded Rails engineer who builds operational platforms, workflow tools, APIs, and practical software for messy real-world problems.
This portfolio collects my work, case studies, product thinking, and technical notes. The current devlog follows SeederKit as I explore AI-assisted developer tooling in public.

Building SeederKit Through Vertical Slices
How shifting from broad architecture planning to small executable slices changed the way I use coding agents while building SeederKit.
Splitting SeederKit's Web Tool from Its Rails Engine
Why SeederKit now has a zero-setup schema-to-seeds webpage and a deeper Rails engine path for deterministic scenario orchestration.
Building SeederKit's Schema Reader
How SeederKit turns Active Record reflection into structured context for safer scenario planning and deterministic execution.
Product Engineering Philosophy
I care about software that makes real work easier: clear workflows, dependable backend systems, thoughtful interfaces, and enough product judgment to know what should not be built.
