KEVIN BADINGER
Technical Architect • Builder • CEO
Founder of Resolvent Technologies
30 years hands-on, COBOL to AI
My systems aren't revolutionary. They just run for 20 years without failing.
I write code that runs in production. Not managing developers. Not selling slides. Actually building systems that have to work.
From Fortune 500 operations to managing nurse credentialing across the country, I build the infrastructure businesses depend on. Currently making AI that same kind of boring reliable.
What I'm Working On
I'm building these under Resolvent Technologies, my product studio.
Guardian
Personal Superintelligence • 2024-present
Think Inside Out, but with expert personalities instead of emotions. Claude debates GPT-4 on your strategic decisions. Gemini challenges assumptions. Perplexity does research. Self-hosted superintelligence that remembers everything and ensures every decision aligns with your actual goals. Built because ChatGPT forgets, and forgetting is expensive.
Python • Mem0 • LiteLLM • Next.js
DecisionForge
Multi-LLM Debate Engine • 2024-present
Six AI models debate complex decisions in structured format. Each argues different perspectives, challenges assumptions, identifies blind spots. Recent decision: Should I spend 20 hours practicing coding tests for premium platforms? Six models unanimously said no—wrong filter for CEO-level positioning, 3% success rate, 16-week timeline. Saved 20 hours and weeks of anxiety.
Multi-model orchestration • Structured debate • Consensus synthesis
This Week Eats
AI Meal Planner • 2024-present
Grocery planning used to take my wife hours of agony. Now: 5 minutes. She glances at last week's list, drops it into ThisWeekEats, and we're ordering. AI learns preferences, handles dietary restrictions, generates shopping lists. Turns decision fatigue into 5-minute routines.
Next.js • Python • OpenAI API • Preference tracking
eRAIL Track & Trace
Technical Architecture • Consulting
Enterprise rail logistics platform tracking thousands of rail cars across all major US carriers. Real-time Union Pacific and BNSF API integration. Geospatial routing using 11GB US rail network data. 95% storage reduction through intelligent deduplication. Sub-3 second performance on 10,000+ point routes.
Next.js • PostgreSQL • Redis • Multi-carrier API integration
Destiny Identifier
Product Strategy • Consulting
Personality and spiritual assessment platform helping people discover their natural design and life direction. Seven-type G-I-F-T framework for understanding personality patterns. Technical strategy and platform development for church and educational markets.
Assessment platform • Educational technology • Market positioning
What I've Built
Before that, I spent two decades architecting production systems still in use today.
Conductor
Healthcare Credentialing Platform • 2005-present • Acquired 2023
Built from scratch as CEO. Scaled to $12M+ annually. Processed 1M+ certifications across 35+ states. Over $100M in exam revenue processed through the system. Automated operations that competitors handled with 20 person teams. 20 years operational.
StarFloors
Senior Living Operations Platform • 2014-present • Fortune 500
Multi-portal system. 85% productivity increase. 10K+ daily transactions. Different industry, same approach—eliminate friction.
About
Still recovering COBOL dev. Started with embedded Smalltalk at Texas Instruments writing firmware for semiconductor tracking. Moved through COM/DCOM in the 90s. Built enterprise systems for 300+ Fortune 1000 companies as Lead Architect.
Ran a healthcare tech company as CEO for 12 years. Built it from scratch in 2005. Scaled to $12M+ annually. Over $100M in exam revenue processed through the system. Wrote all the code myself while managing the business. At peak, managed 588 people—100+ staff and 300-500 traveling nurses. Zero contract losses. Acquired 2023.
The actual story: scaled 5x while competitors hired 50+ people doing manual data entry. I built automation that eliminated the grunt work. Same approach I took 15 years ago putting customer names on NASCAR hoods—find the thing no one else sees, execute before they catch on. That's what I do—find friction killing teams and automate it away so people can focus on work that matters.
Turns out, keeping systems running is just like marathons—and Ironmans: endurance, pacing, and finishing matter most.
Currently: Building Guardian and advising a few select companies on AI implementation and technical architecture. Occasionally available for interesting problems.
