Working Modes
Operator mindset. Builder speed.
- AI systems with rollout, guardrails, and adoption plans
- Full-stack products built around real workflows
- Infrastructure, security, and reliability pulled into the design process early
Field Manual / AI systems + product engineering
I'm Caleb Stammen, a software engineer, AI lead, and founder. I work where product, infrastructure, workflow design, and operational reality collide, turning messy internal processes into tools teams can actually trust.
Working Modes
Build Zones
I do my best work when a project needs product thinking, hands-on engineering, and enough operational judgment to survive contact with the real world.
AI Delivery
Evaluation, rollout, governance, workflow fit, and practical adoption instead of demo-only AI.
Product Engineering
React, TypeScript, Node, SQL, APIs, payments, and the glue work that makes systems coherent.
Automation
Workflow design, routing, notifications, and operational tooling that remove repeatable daily drag.
Ops Backbone
IT and cybersecurity roots that keep uptime, risk, and maintenance in the room while things are being built.
01 / Systems
The work that suits me best usually lives in the messy middle: real users, real constraints, and systems that need to deliver more than a polished screenshot.
Vertical SaaS / Founder-led build
I'm building a wedding-focused operating system for formalwear shops so fittings, tailoring, communication, and billing stop living across disconnected tools.
Most shops still manage complex wedding workflows with spreadsheets, texts, memory, and generic CRM tooling.
Multi-tenant product architecture, core frontend and backend systems, auth, payments, messaging, reporting, and release operations.
The product is shaped around actual store operations, which makes it faster to use and easier to trust on busy days.
AI Knowledge Systems
At Garmann Miller, I co-lead internal AI initiatives that centralize knowledge, improve training, and make AI more useful in day-to-day work.
Good AI ideas fall apart when knowledge is scattered, governance is unclear, and people do not trust the rollout.
System design, use-case evaluation, cloud AI infrastructure, governance patterns, and cross-functional delivery for internal platforms.
The result is better onboarding, easier information access, and AI that feels grounded in actual work instead of hype.
Workflow Automation
I've designed internal automations for preboarding, onboarding, communications, and project information routing across teams.
Manual handoffs create hidden delays, duplicate effort, and onboarding that depends too much on whoever remembers what.
Maintainable workflows with clear notifications, business logic, and operational visibility instead of one-off scripts nobody wants to own.
Teams move faster, fewer details get dropped, and the system keeps helping after the original project excitement wears off.
02 / Proof
I do my best work when a team needs somebody who can zoom from strategy into implementation without losing the operational details.
01
I want to know who owns the work, where it breaks, and what "better" means before I get attached to a tool or architecture.
02
If AI adds latency, risk, or confusion without changing outcomes, it should not be in the system. I care about fit, not novelty.
03
Product, infrastructure, reliability, permissions, monitoring, support, and rollout all matter. Production is part of the design.
04
I like translating between executives, operators, and technical teams so the build has sponsorship, context, and a chance to stick.
Tools I reach for
03 / Timeline
My path started in IT and cybersecurity, which is why uptime, supportability, and safer defaults show up in the software I build.
Leading internal AI and software initiatives across knowledge systems, governance, workflow tooling, and adoption.
Building a vertical SaaS platform end to end across product, engineering, infrastructure, billing, and production readiness.
Delivering AI automations, software systems, and web experiences for small to mid-sized businesses.
Owned infrastructure, cybersecurity, vendor relationships, and reliability in a manufacturing environment where downtime had immediate cost.
Built early internal tooling, improved support workflows, and developed the operational foundation that still shapes how I ship software.
04 / Field Notes
The mountain photos are here on purpose. I like long drives, hard trails, new cities, and places that clear your head.
That same part of me is why I enjoy technical work that starts fuzzy and gets better through observation, iteration, and staying calm when the route changes.
Favorite Reset
Fourteen hours one way, late November weather, and still one of the easiest trips to recommend.
Perspective Shift
Trips abroad and time away from routine are a reliable way for me to come back with better questions and cleaner priorities.
Side Quest
They are not the main point of the portfolio, but they are a truthful one: I like exploring, and that curiosity carries into the work.

Open to connect
That can mean internal AI systems, workflow-heavy software, founding engineer work, or technical leadership where the job is not just to build something, but to help it stick.
