Vibe Code Production-Grade AI
Products in Weeks — Not Months
Enterprise architecture that still powers systems running a decade later. Now Claude, Codex, and Gemini drive the day-to-day work — and full platforms (mobile + web + payments + analytics) ship 3–5× faster without sacrificing quality.
Most companies are stuck in endless AI pilots. I help you ship real, working products before your competitors even finish planning.
Closing the 2026 AI Delivery Gap
Most companies are burning six to twelve months and hundreds of thousands on AI pilots that never reach production.
I work the opposite way. Claude, Codex, and Gemini drive day-to-day development; I bring the enterprise architecture experience that comes from a decade owning systems for 500K+ users. Production-grade platforms ship in weeks, not pilots that stall in months.
Velocity without quality compromise — that's what AI-augmented delivery looks like when a senior engineer drives it.
What I Offer
Enterprise-grade solutions with startup velocity. Decades of enterprise architecture experience combined with AI-powered development workflows.
AI Strategy & Roadmapping
Assess your AI readiness, identify high-impact opportunities, and create actionable roadmaps for AI transformation. Navigate the shift from traditional development to AI-first workflows.
AI-Powered Development
Build production-grade products using AI as the primary developer. Claude, Codex, Gemini, and custom workflows enable faster delivery, lower costs, and enterprise-quality architecture.
R&D & Prototyping
Rapid prototypes and proof of concepts to validate ideas before full investment. From blockchain to healthcare, test complex technical concepts with minimal risk.
Building the Future
I'm Derek Kaneshiro—a software engineer who's shipped at every scale, from solo apps to systems serving 500K+ patients, and has gone all-in on AI-powered development. Not as a buzzword, but as a fundamental shift in how great software gets built.
My background spans orthopedic healthcare APIs serving 500K+ patients, veterinary platforms powering 750+ hospitals, and nationwide digital signage networks. I've led teams of 30 engineers and architected systems still running a decade later.
Now I'm proving what's possible when deep experience meets AI-first development. In the last 6 months, I've shipped three production-grade platforms—each with mobile apps, web portals, APIs, payments, and analytics. That's not hype. That's the new reality.
I help companies who want that same velocity without sacrificing quality.
Tech Stack
Recent AI-First Platforms Delivered
In the last six months I shipped three complete, enterprise-grade platforms — each with mobile apps, web portals, APIs, payments, analytics, and production-ready architecture — built with Claude and OpenAI as my primary development partners (Gemini in the mix). All are now in final client staging and scheduled for public launch in Q2 2026. These aren't demos. They're real products built at a speed most teams can only dream of.
