Dave BettnerI’m targeting forward deployed engineering and adjacent customer-facing technical roles. I bring 10+ years in enterprise software and customer delivery, including leading 6–12 concurrent Workiva implementations and managing a five-person implementation team.
An operating workspace for a founder running five businesses.
My main project. Each business has its own clients, deadlines, and delivery requirements. I’m building a shared workspace for client records, projects, content, and agent assignments, designed to keep drafts, owner approvals, and delivery records distinct.
Private application in active development. Agent execution and external integrations are still being developed. Preview uses fictional work.

Study choices and practice tied to lecture sources.
I design and build the workflow from lecture material to practice, helping students decide what to study next.
Vehicle comparison and lease requests.
I design and build the comparison and request flows. Drafts remain available for review, with negotiation decisions kept with the user.
A project workspace that helps people and AI assistants pick up work without rebuilding its context. The first integration supports Workiva reporting.
I own product direction, interface design, and implementation through AI coding tools. My reporting-delivery experience shaped the review workflow: proposed changes show their expected results before they run, with a record of what happened and a way to undo them.
A Workiva consulting practice built around training and client ownership.
I shaped the positioning, website, and reporting resources, translating reporting expertise into a service offering and supporting materials.
I own product direction and implementation for Homebase, Passal, and Leasekite, working through AI coding tools. I define what each workflow needs to do, which actions need approval, and how to check the result. Codex and Claude help implement features, write tests, and review code.
In Homebase, a draft, an approval, and an actual delivery remain distinct. I design the workflow so that a completed task does not automatically count as a customer receiving the result. The Homebase case study shows what exists and what is still in development.
I work in T3 Code with a VPS-hosted backend, and Hermes coordinates ongoing agent work. I publish this Astro site with Cloudflare Workers and Wrangler. GitHub keeps the source history; Playwright and axe check browser behavior and accessibility. My operating stack write-up explains the tools and release process.
The roles of Astro, Cloudflare Workers, Wrangler, AI coding tools, and browser checks in publishing this site.
Why I’m connecting the customer commitment, the work, and the delivery record in one operating workspace.
How T3’s backend, hosted models, SQLite, Git worktrees, Hermes, and repository memory fit together, with a site release as a working example.
At Citrin Cooperman, I managed a five-person implementation team. At Workiva, I led 6–12 concurrent implementations.
At LSL, I scoped consulting engagements, prepared estimates and statements of work, and led Workiva delivery for city and county finance teams through client sign-off. I also directed AI-assisted development of Python reporting tools reused across engagements. I built internal review workflows that compare reports with source records and route discrepancies for human review before client changes.
