Summary
Kaeland Chatman is a full-stack software engineer with 9 years of experience who blends front-end React work and Ruby on Rails back-ends with a practical, data-driven approach rooted in public sector service delivery. He has translated municipal reporting and asset-management needs into actionable software, and now builds hardware-aware prototypes as well—sketching in CAD and firmware-adjacent tools to improve public services. Kaeland has taught web development at WeWork, scaling student projects and curricula while applying agile GitHub workflows, and currently contributes engineering at Fortiphyd Logic. His toolset spans JavaScript/Node, Postgres/MongoDB, Rails, React/Redux, and Go, with experience in testing-driven development and SaaS delivery. Unusually for a web engineer, his early background in mechanical engineering and industrial operations gives him hands-on experience with process controls, calibration, and field inspection that inform pragmatic product design.
