§ 03 — About

NorfBay is one person.

NorfBay LLC is operated by Robert Hernandez — engineer, builder, and single full-stack operator. Self-taught since 2013. The name is a mashup of North Side Long Beach and the Bay Area — where most of the work comes from.

The projects here are built and run by one person. That means the architecture decisions, the ops, the support, and the design all sit in the same head. I prefer that; it's how privacy-by-default, rapid iteration, and cost-aware infrastructure stay coherent.

Open to senior roles. I work best at small, ambitious teams where shipping is a verb, not a ceremony.
