Disabled Army veteran · Independently operated
Hillsboro, OregonI’m Junior Fortunato, a disabled U.S. Army veteran. I kept satellite links running; now I design websites for local businesses and build software that holds up.
30 minutes. You, me, and what you’re working on.

Satellite communications then. Business systems now.
Chart: the local sky over Hillsboro, with the site’s own satellite mark above the horizon line, in view, and a ground station uplinked to it — the maintenance page draws the same sheet with the mark below the line.
I work inside a company that can’t afford downtime. So I learned to build things that don’t break — and to explain them to people who don’t code. That’s the whole job, really.
What I can help withSelected work
A business that runs on it. An experiment that tests it. A site you can try yourself.
01 / Healthcare operations
One system for the working day.
The system a healthcare operations company runs its whole day on. Live since 2023, tens of thousands of confirmed visits, administrative processing time down roughly 40%.
The reduction is my own informed estimate, from working inside the company before and after.
Read the Pelican story
The same access-control console, on purpose, in four languages — identical screens, the same security model underneath, bar one permission key I left mismatched rather than edit a repository to flatter the result.
Read project stories and engineering notes, then try the AI console demo with sample data in your browser. No account needed.
Also live: Usage IQ — it tells a team what they’re actually spending on AI coding assistants. It has processed 40 billion tokens of usage so far, mine and a handful of other people’s. usageiq.online.
Every number here is something I built or something I was in the room for. The 40% is my own estimate rather than a stopwatch study — I worked inside that company before the software and after it, and that is the size of the change. I would rather tell you where a figure came from than round one up, and where I have no number I left the sentence out. It is the one I’d most like to be asked about.
Two ways to start
A better first impression, a better way to get the work done, or both. We’ll work out the right starting point together.
A custom website, followed by managed hosting and a monthly priority for local SEO or search visibility.
Explore the website package The work behind itReplace the repeated steps, scattered records, and workarounds with a system built for how you operate.
See how a project worksFrom understanding the job to supporting the people doing it.
I watch how the work gets done, find the repeated steps, and work out what is worth changing.
Websites and business software, from the screens your team uses to the database behind them.
Plain-language documentation and hands-on training with the people who will use the software.
Hosting, backups, upgrades, and someone who knows the system when something needs attention.
Records of what happened and who did it, collected while the work happens.
One person. Personally responsible.
Army communications. Business owner. Working IT director.
I run technology and compliance for a healthcare organization. Northwest Fortune Solutions brings that same hands-on work to businesses that need more than a vendor—and don’t need a whole department.
About Junior FortunatoU.S. Army · 2014–2018
The longer version — the software company I ran for four years, the fifty-plus businesses that ran on it, and the acquisition that ended itI was a Senior Wideband Controller in the U.S. Army from 2014 to 2018 — the person who keeps the satellite and radio links up. Drone operations, ships, submarines. I qualified across six critical positions and became my unit’s youngest senior controller.
What I took from it wasn’t discipline in the poster sense. It was this: when the link goes down, nobody wants your explanation. They want it back. And then they want to know why, in writing, so it doesn’t happen twice.
Since 2022 I’ve directed technology and compliance for a healthcare organization — the team, the budget, the vendors, the audits, and the software. And I still write the code. Northwest Fortune Solutions is that same work, done for people who need it and can’t hire a whole department.
How I check the work
One is a bug I shipped and published. One is a warning I built to make my own demo look worse.
01
I point my own AI tooling at my finished work and tell it to break in, and every finding it raises goes to a second one told to refute it. A location feature failed that pass: it was showing people’s exact position to more roles than it should have. Fixed the same day, with a test that fails if anyone ever undoes the fix.
02
If no real AI service answers, the demo says so on screen, in the moment — not a footnote. A demo that quietly fakes a result is worse than no demo at all.
If you write software for a living
There’s a lot of mechanism behind this site, and none of it is on the front page. That was on purpose: it was crowding out what a hiring manager actually needs.
None of it got deleted. It’s one click away, in more detail than is strictly reasonable.
Explore the decisions behind the build.
Let’s talk about the work
Show me the spreadsheet you keep rebuilding, the website you’ve outgrown, or the process that takes too many steps. We can start there.
I answer my own email, usually the same day.
