I’m Eric Diaz, the developer and operations engineer behind Foundation Operations. I build and run business software that connects service workflows, communications, and internal tools. I use AI extensively for development and operations, and remain responsible for the architecture, review, testing, and production results.
An operations platform for a service business that connects intake, work orders, technician queues, inspection, invoicing, payment, warranty claims, and follow-up.
A multi-tenant evolution of FieldOps using a Turborepo monorepo, tRPC type safety, Drizzle ORM, and a drag-and-drop widget workspace.
A project for monitoring published government sources, detecting content changes, and searching the collected material through a RAG interface.
A browser-automation project for policy-reporting workflows, combining queued jobs, a browser extension, and a dashboard.
A community platform with an AI-assisted code modification pipeline, forums, messaging, push notifications, webhooks, role-based access, and an AI coach.
A daily intelligence briefing that combines calendar, email triage with AI-suggested actions, weather, and headlines into one concise message.
A Model Context Protocol project for connecting AI-assisted development work with source review, selected tools, and local model routing.
A multi-model agent framework and testing harness with model routing and structured JSONL event records.
Standalone tools for planning, fitness tracking, scheduling, and finance dashboards, built with a deliberately small stack.
A self-hosted network layer that combines encrypted overlay networking, multiple WAN paths, and remote development access.
Start with real operational pain, define the data and interface boundaries, review the implementation, exercise the tests, and verify deployment state and live behavior where applicable.
Self-hosting can provide greater control over data, infrastructure, and cost. I use it where the operational tradeoffs fit, while keeping vendor services explicit and bounded.
AI tools help with research, implementation, testing, and operations. Access is scoped to the task, consequential actions retain human approval gates, and I remain responsible for the result.
Pushing further into AI-assisted development, self-hosted infrastructure, and systems that do real work. Side projects that scratch real itches — built for the love of shipping things that actually run.
I’m not currently accepting new client work. You’re still welcome to get in touch about systems architecture, AI tooling, or self-hosted infrastructure.
