Computer science student at CSULB, founder of DarkForge AI, and the engineer behind twelve live platforms.
I build production systems for businesses that depend on them, then open-source the tooling that made them possible.
Founder of DarkForge AI, an AI automation and product engineering studio in Orange County. Twelve live platforms, eight internal systems, a senior project in web security, and twenty-four public repositories with code you can run.

Senior project · In progress · 2026
A course that places you first, then teaches only what you need.
CECS 491A senior project at CSULB, team of five. A 32 question placement marks each of 16 lessons as mastered, review or learn; a prerequisite graph unlocks the path; every lesson ends in a lab on a vulnerable application that is graded on the server.

Healthcare · Live · 2026
One design system for a pharmacy group and its online care.
farmaciarx.com is the group landing page: six locations with hours, phones and reviews, transfer and refill forms, compounding, FAQ, with a full Spanish version under /es/ and hreflang. farmaciarxcare.com is the telehealth front door built on the same system: treatment paths for sexual health, hair loss and weight loss, a consultation form, and Rx only messaging reviewed with the pharmacist.

Library · Live · 2026
A cursor that flows, in four kilobytes.
A spring physics cursor that replaces the pointer with a blob that trails movement, grows on links and buttons, and is configured with data attributes. The demo page is a live control playground with a copyable install snippet; touch devices get an autonomous blob instead.

Coursework · Live demo · 2026
A distributed system you can crash from the browser.
Sensor nodes, lot servers and a driver client as separate processes talking over hand built TCP framing, idempotent request reply, a pub sub broker and registry based group messaging, all from the Python standard library. Lot servers replay their logs on restart. The demo runs the whole system in the page as Web Workers, with latency, drops and link cuts you control, five scripted failure scenarios and downloadable logs. Group project of seven; 38 of the 40 commits are mine.
- Role
- Protocols, servers, recovery, browser demo
- Stack
- Python standard library, vanilla JS, Web Workers
- Outcome
- Milestones 1 and 2 complete; seven whole system failure scenarios pass
The systems behind the agency.
Internal tooling built so fixed ship dates hold: the parts of delivery that are the same on every project, automated once and reused everywhere. Numbers are from production.
AI Support Agent
Claude agent with Stripe and Shopify tool calls for refunds and orders, a pgvector knowledge base, and a structured handoff to a person when confidence drops.
ROI Calculator
Three sliders to annual savings in real time on darkforgeai.com. Dependency-free and under a kilobyte of logic.
Product Image Pipeline
Batch product variants from one photo: pixel-level color detection, region isolation, gradient interpolation and precise text rendering.
Lead Sourcing Stack
Scrapers, model-driven enrichment and browser automation feeding a deduplicated list of qualified leads. Bootstrapped DarkForge to its first ten clients.
Multi-Domain Infrastructure
One-command deploys and hardened hosting across twelve domains on three DNS providers: records, SSL, security headers, environment isolation.
Email Deliverability Audit
Pulls live DNS for a whole domain portfolio, validates SPF, DKIM and DMARC, scores deliverability and writes a graded Markdown report.
Compliance Page Generator
Vertical-aware privacy, terms and disclosure pages with state-by-state additions, generated per client site and reviewed by counsel before launch.
AI E-Commerce Platforms
Compliance-ready storefront delivery for wellness, retail and regulated verticals, where code, copy and legal pages are model-assisted and reviewed by people.
Twenty-four public repositories, written to be run.
Security tooling, systems software and computer science depth, all on github.com/forgehk. The fourteen below each ship with a test suite, continuous integration or a live demo; the rest of the account is coursework and experiments kept public as a record.
Student by day. Founder, engineer and occasional compiler author the rest of the time.
I study computer science at California State University, Long Beach, where my senior project is CyberForge, an adaptive web security training platform. I run DarkForge AI, a studio that ships AI automation, commerce and infrastructure work for Orange County businesses, and I am the developer behind the Farmacia pharmacy group's sites, from the bilingual supplement store to the telehealth front door. I care about software that holds up in production: tested, measured, and boring in all the right places.
Where the work happened.
Two years of shipping under real constraints, alongside the degree. The full version is in the resume.
