About

I'm Steve Frank — Engineering Manager at ForgeOS and co-founder of uflex.

At ForgeOS, I lead engineering teams building AI-augmented development workflows — figuring out how context-layered AI changes what a small team can ship. At uflex, we're replacing resumes with proof: a platform where students build verified track records through real projects and employers hire based on demonstrated performance.

Before management, I was an IC for a long time — five years building telecom systems at Ten4, then software engineer at ForgeOS before moving into leadership. I still write code daily. I think EMs who stop building lose the context they need to make good decisions.

I care about sustainable pace, building builders (not just buildings), and the kind of craft that compounds over decades. I wrote a document called The Code that captures how I think about this — measuring success in cathedrals, not sprints.

I also build open-source tools. This site runs on Golid, a Go + SolidJS framework I built because I wanted the full stack — SSR, auth, deployment — in one repo without the complexity tax.
