Software developer / full-stack applications

Résumé

Software developer focused on full-stack applications, Python-backed systems, applied AI, and data-backed workflows. Most of the work sits around practical products: collection systems, planning flows, retrieval pipelines, APIs, databases, and deployable infrastructure.

Jayden Ontalan Capistrano

Software Developer

Builds responsive web products, Python-backed systems, applied AI tools, and self-hosted software with a bias towards clear workflows, explicit boundaries, and maintainable systems.

Selected project experience

Ahhgela Ledger

React, TypeScript, Vite, Node.js

Active · Public browsing; private admin tools
  • Built a responsive collection ledger for a Pokémon sticker pack with no authoritative master catalogue.
  • Modelled verified and possible entries, owned and desired quantities, needed and extra states, and region-based browsing.
  • Kept public browsing separate from protected admin tools while refining repeated editing workflows for desktop and mobile.

Hangout Planner

React, TypeScript, Vite, Node.js, PostgreSQL

Production preview · Public; no-login participation
  • Built a public no-login planning app for availability, polls, follow-up questions, participant notes, and group-facing results.
  • Tightened creation, participation, and results flows with required-field validation, completion state, share-link state, and clearer saved/unsaved cues.
  • Paired the React and Vite interface with a Node API and PostgreSQL persistence behind the deployed public route.

SpineFrame

Python, Flask, PostgreSQL, Nginx, systemd

Production preview · Public login; private authenticated runtime
  • Built authenticated chat, history, memory review, account, and settings flows around a user-scoped continuity runtime.
  • Migrated auth, session, conversation, and memory stores from JSON-file paths into PostgreSQL-backed persistence.
  • Validated the current runtime with a 672-test suite covering account, persistence, migration, tenancy, and runtime paths.

Mānoa Faculty Senate RAG

Python, FastAPI, LanceDB, OpenAI API

Research prototype · Public archive-search interface
  • Built a retrieval and citation prototype for Faculty Senate PDFs and DOCX files.
  • Implemented extraction, table/text handling, metadata policy, LanceDB retrieval storage, API/UI paths, and grounded citation responses.
  • Added citation support and evidence-sufficiency checks without claiming institutional use, production deployment, or full-archive factual reliability.

Selected validation

  • Ahhgela Ledger: verified and possible entries, region browsing, owned/desired quantities, and protected edit boundaries.
  • Hangout Planner: no-login planning links, availability and poll flows, completion states, and local PostgreSQL persistence.
  • SpineFrame: user-isolation smoke flows, memory integrity checks, storage migration parity, and continuity verification.
  • Mānoa Faculty Senate RAG: document extraction, metadata-guided retrieval, citation paths, and scoped evaluation evidence.
