Kevin Badinger

Still recovering COBOL dev.

Building AI systems that actually work.

About

30 years of production code. From COBOL to Claude APIs. From COM/DCOM to Kubernetes.

I eliminate manual work that's killing your team. Former CEO who reduced operational staff by 83% through automation while scaling revenue. Zero contract losses in 12 years.

If it runs code, I've probably shipped it. Mobile, web, cloud, on-prem. Modern frameworks and painful legacy integrations.

Currently

Building a production RAG system for personal knowledge management. Searching 10+ years of notes, code repos, and documentation using LlamaIndex, ChromaDB, and vector embeddings.

Available for consulting on AI implementation and process automation. The kind that actually works in production, not demo BS.

RIP Vineman. Who Dat.
