About
Forge & Code is a software engineering consultancy based in Virginia, founded by Evan Primeau.
I build production software across the full stack — native iOS apps with Swift and SwiftUI, high-performance systems in Rust, and AI infrastructure that actually works in production. Not prototypes. Not demos. Software that ships and stays running.
What I've Built
My current portfolio spans several production systems:
- A professional CAD application — Rust computation core with Swift/Metal rendering. Real-time geometry processing with native macOS UI.
- A content-filtering reading app — iOS app that processes EPUB and Kindle content in real-time with customizable category-based filtering. Swift, SwiftUI, SwiftData.
- AI-powered developer tooling — Production infrastructure for AI-assisted development workflows, including voice interfaces, persistent memory systems, and autonomous task coordination.
How I Work
I write code every day. I don't manage teams or delegate — I architect, implement, test, and ship. When you hire Forge & Code, you get a senior engineer embedded in your problem, not a project manager who subcontracts the actual work.
I care about the things that matter: software that's correct, performant, and maintainable. Privacy-first architecture. Local-first data. No unnecessary complexity. Build it right the first time.
The Name
Forge — because software engineering is a craft. You shape raw material into something useful through heat, pressure, and precision. Code — because that's the medium. No abstraction layers between us and the work.
