Blue Wave Dev

Johnathan Bryce · Vancouver, BC

Software consulting and development.

I help teams ship software that works: scoping what to build, designing the system, writing the code, and running it in production. AI is where I go deepest.

01 / SERVICES

Consulting and development

Consulting and hands-on engineering for teams that need software built, fixed or thought through.

Scoping and planning

Turn an idea or a stalled project into a plan: what to build, in what order, what it costs to run, and what to skip.

Architecture and technical review

A second set of eyes on system design, data flow and vendor choices before engineering time goes in. Code and infrastructure audits too.

Web and app development

Websites, web apps and mobile apps, built end to end: back end, front end, database and integrations, from spec to production.

AI features

Assistants, agents, and search over your own data, with the routing and caching that keep model costs predictable. Scoped and built, not just recommended.

Infrastructure and delivery

Deployment, CI/CD pipelines, monitoring, and a release process your team can run without me.

Ongoing engineering support

A standing arrangement for fixes, upgrades, small features and questions, for teams that need an engineer but not a hire.

Selected work

Lead Software Engineer

Lead engineer on an AI legal research platform, owning the AI research agent, the case law search, the data pipeline behind both, and the production infrastructure.

Small business websites

Blue Wave Dev started as a web design shop, and I still build and maintain sites for small businesses. A few highlights, with what their owners said.

The Julien Verschooris website

John has been a pleasure to work with on the Labridge Farms website. He communicated with me every step of the way and was always open to feedback and changes. His dedication and genuine interest in capturing the essence of our dog breeding and farm business made the process smooth and enjoyable. We continue to collaborate on updates to the website, big or small, and John handles them smoothly and efficiently. I couldn't be happier with the end result and highly recommend his services.

04 / ABOUT

Johnathan Bryce

Full Stack & AI Software Engineer

I am a self taught developer in Vancouver, BC. I cut my teeth as a founding engineer at Romp, went on to lead the engineering on an AI legal research platform at Caseway, and now work as a full stack developer who specializes in AI.

The work I like is the kind where the answer is not obvious yet: a feature nobody has scoped, a system that needs rethinking, a build that stalled. Tell me the problem and I will figure out what it takes to solve it.

05 / CONTACT

Have a project in mind?

Tell me what you are building and where it is stuck. I will reply with a straight read on scope and next steps.
