Dillon Bartram™
Software engineer in public service. I build the systems that keep a county animal shelter running — dependable, humane software for the people and animals closest to home.

Shelter Operations Platform
2023 — Line-of-business applications behind a county animal shelter — the systems staff rely on so they can spend their time with the animals, not the software. Internal work; also supporting the Assessor's office. Details on request.fenics-pipeline
2026 An open, local-first topology optimization pipeline: describe a part's loads and anchors, get back a lighter, stronger STL ready to slice. The class of tool that lives inside nTopology or Fusion Generative Design — except you own every line, and it runs on a laptop. Published under the ergane-daemon org. 003WWW_Becks
2025 A cloud-hosted website designed, built, deployed, and kept online end to end — infrastructure, DNS, deploys, and updates, handled solo. 004Local AI Lab
Live Self-hosted inference and automation: Ollama and OpenWebUI serving Hermes-class models on rack hardware, with Python flows that watch Plex traffic and manage server power over iDRAC/Redfish. Private by design — the point of local AI.Topology, optimized
有限要素法The heart of fenics-pipeline: tell the solver where a part is loaded and where it's bolted down, and a FEniCS finite-element solve plus density optimization carves away everything that isn't carrying load. Scroll, and the part optimizes as you pass — or grab the slider to scrub convergence by hand.

Public service turned out to be the best product brief I've ever had — real people, real animals, real stakes. I'm proud to build for it.
I'm a Colorado native with a lifelong pull toward technology. I finished my CS degree at MSU Denver in December 2020 — a lockdown graduation — and was laid off into the strangest job market in memory. A workforce case manager saw a path for me when the market didn't, and helped me land a helpdesk role in county government. I've never forgotten what one good public servant can do; it's a large part of why I became one.
Two years on the helpdesk earned me a move to application development, and I've been there since — building the systems behind the county animal shelter and working directly with the Assessor's office in C#, Python, and T-SQL. Off the clock: homelab and media archival, 3D printing, local AI and its ethics, generative design and topology optimization, and cars.
