About SunCoast Forge

Led by a 20-year engineering veteran with deep expertise across operating systems, search engines, and enterprise-scale platforms.

Jared S. Owen

Founder & Principal Engineer
Tampa, Florida

I’m a software engineer with 20 years of experience building and shipping operating systems (Windows), search engines, and enterprise SaaS platforms. Deep expertise in JavaScript, C#, Java, and cloud-based architectures spanning front-end, back-end services, and large-scale production operations on AWS. I’ve designed automation frameworks from the ground up, led engineering teams, and I work with modern AI-assisted development tools daily. I care about writing clean, reliable code at scale.

SunCoast Forge was founded on a simple principle: great software requires great engineering at every layer. With 20 years of hands-on experience — from building core components of Windows and search engines to architecting enterprise SaaS on AWS — I bring battle-tested practices to every engagement.

From building core OS components to architecting cloud-native platforms, I’ve designed automation frameworks from the ground up, led cross-functional engineering teams, and shipped software that serves millions. Whether you need hands-on delivery or a strategic technical partner, SunCoast Forge is built to deliver.

I pair deep engineering experience with the latest AI development tools — Claude, Codex, and beyond — to build faster without cutting corners. The era of $300K mobile apps and bloated timelines is over. AI-augmented engineering means one senior engineer can now deliver what used to take an entire team, at a fraction of the traditional cost and timeline.
