Paige Julianne Sullivan

Lead developer on a comprehensive Building Infrastructure Management Platform—designing all system architecture and directing AI-augmented implementation across a digital twin system for electrical, plumbing, HVAC, networking, A/V, security, and fire protection systems using directed acyclic graph architecture.

• Designed complete system architecture—Go backend (Graph/Formula/Validation engines), React + WebAssembly frontends, MongoDB/PostgreSQL/Redis data layer—then directed AI-assisted implementation with detailed specifications and rigorous code review
• Designed Topology Formula Language (TFL)—a custom DSL with lexer, parser, and AST for building code compliance validation (NEC, IBC, IPC)—the kind of complex language design that requires human architectural vision, not just code generation
• Developing real-time collaboration system using binary WebSocket protocol; validates all AI-generated code through unit, integration, and real-world testing—routinely catching concurrency and state management bugs before AI tooling identifies them
• Leveraged AI-augmented development to build Component Modeling Language (CML) with 9,500+ XML-based component definitions across 7 building trades—a scope achievable only through optimized human-AI collaboration
• Developed optimized AI development workflows—context indexing strategies, incremental code search, and deployment automation on GCP (Cloud Run, Terraform IaC, Cloud CDN)—preventing AI tendency to rewrite from scratch and ensuring consistent, repeatable CI/CD pipelines
