Hi! I'm a backend engineer (~8 YOE) with strong backend & DevOps experience and decent frontend skills. Looking for a backend or backend-leaning full-stack role.
I worked at Automattic (US), the company behind WordPress; fully remote, async teams across the globe.
I've worked with time-sensitive, high-throughput, distributed services (millions of ops daily) and owned features and small- to mid-sized projects end-to-end from tech design to deployment. I do my best working autonomously, and I like to think of myself as a generalist.
I've been part of teams focused on speed and rapid iteration, and I've also worked on high-quality systems where long-term maintainability and reliability matter the most. I'm a pretty flexible and adaptable person.

I design and build scalable FinTech products — from lending journeys and banking integrations to AI-powered financial workflows. I help startups and financial institutions launch MVPs, modernize legacy systems, and integrate Open Banking infrastructure like Plaid into production-ready platforms.
Practical, execution-focused, and cost-efficient.

Principal, Agentic Engineering Systems · "I ship with agents."
PhD Mathematics · 15+ years production AI/ML.
I build self-improving engineering systems that ship PRs against real enterprise codebases, including personal agents that learn each engineer's context and expertise, and the harness that keeps them in bounds.
Most recently I led an AI tooling team at a Big 4 professional services firm, building production LLM tooling on open-source agent/RAG components. Before that I designed autonomous engineering systems for real enterprise software workflows. They used the same channels any engineer does: repos, PRs, CI, and Slack.
That work, including unsupervised runs on real production code, made the next bottleneck obvious: capability isn't the hard limit anymore. Authority, trust, and blast radius are.
I've hardened the design into an Agent Harness architecture: authority boundaries, blast-radius scoring, multi-agent consensus, and human approval routing. Other teams reached out to learn the approach.
Background: led MLOps adoption across 30+ business units; drove $48M in annual data-cost reduction; built production RAG and Slackbot systems for public sector and Fortune-scale telecom. ML roots in signal processing, frame theory, NLP, time-series, and applied math. US patent pending.
Looking for work building governed engineering-agent fleets: personal agents that learn each engineer's context and expertise, shared team agents that coordinate across repos and workflows, and the control plane that keeps it safe enough to run in prod. Also a good fit for agentic SDLC platforms, internal AI infrastructure, or principal-architect work. Prefer C2C/1099, open to full-time or fractional.

I'm building AILedger (ailedger.dev) — tamper-evident chain of custody for every AI inference an enterprise's product makes, aimed at the EU AI Act Article 12 / Article 79 compliance question (enforcement August 2, 2026). Pre-revenue, in early customer conversations. Public Rust work at github.com/jakejjoyner.
Primarily seeking short-term contract work (4-12 weeks, ~20-30 hr/week, $150/hr) to fund AILedger's runway. Open to fractional-engineer engagements. Will consider full-time only if exceptionally aligned with the AILedger thesis — compliance / AI infrastructure / audit / Cloudflare-edge stack.
Strongest fit:
- Audit / compliance-adjacent infrastructure: tamper-evident logging, evidence collection, SOC 2 / AI Act prep, cryptographic provenance.
- Cloudflare Workers / edge compute / API proxying — including AI inference middleware (cost metering, prompt-injection defense, observability).
- Rust greenfield, or Rust-meets-TypeScript stacks.
- Full-stack product work where correctness matters more than ship-speed.

Recently building EZThrottle — a system designed to coordinate API traffic, retries, and fairness across multi-tenant and agent-driven workloads. Think: preventing retry storms, smoothing partial outages, and making backend systems more predictable under chaotic load.
I care a lot about: - Reliability under real-world failure conditions (partial outages > total outages) - Multi-tenant fairness and traffic shaping - Systems that reduce operational burden, not add to it
Looking for roles or contracts where I can work on: - Infrastructure / backend systems - Distributed systems / reliability engineering - High-scale APIs or data pipelines

I'm graduating in a month, so I'm seeking junior/graduate-level roles that revolve around backend and systems development where I can learn a lot. My experience includes four internships and multiple side projects (please check my resume and GitHub).
I started programming on my own at the age of 15. Since then, I have explored multiple areas, including mobile app development (native and Flutter), web development (React, Next.js, Vue), QA, MLOps, and AI/ML. During this exploration phase, I realized that I want to focus my career on backend development.
Most of my coding experience is in Java and Python. I also really enjoy Kotlin and am currently learning Go (Golang) by building a simple VPN as a side project. However, I am not limited only to these languages.

Greetings fellow hackers!
I'm a high-agency, high-energy, eclectic, serious, fun, creative techie who's done lots of things at BigCos and startups. My happy place is working hard with smart people on something big and complex that makes the world better.
After several years in the consulting/contracting game, I am looking for an ambitious team to join. Maybe yours!
A few of my spinning plates right now: Golang inference worker, two Expo apps in TS/RN, Python data pipeline, AWS IoT for HVAC-adjacent devices, shared FFI components in Rust, and a HealthTech web app in TS/React.
Interested? Drop me a line, and if you're in the Bay Area let's grab a beverage!
Location: NJ / NYC (hybrid or remote preferred)
Remote: Yes
Willing to relocate: No
What I’ve been working on lately:
LLM introspection tooling and observability, mainly around token-level behavior during inference; Also experimented with inference-time interventions (no retraining) e.g. improved DeBERTa on HANS via targeted layer/head adjustments.
I just put up a small demo of part of the tooling (HF Space):
https://huggingface.co/spaces/anotheruserishere/Cartogemma
It exposes:
-per-head projections into token space (logit lens-style)
-token rank changes across layers for target-tokens ("rank displacement")
-top-k next-token branches with internal state views
-mute a head at a given L x H coordinate
-inject tokens or rewind context
There's a minimal example in the UI showing how token candidates stabilize (or don’t) across layers
Background: ~15 years in data science/ analytics (higher ed), mostly translating technical work into decisions & policy for leadership. More recently focused on LLM internals + tooling (Python/Rust, local model stacks, etc.) and agentic analytical tools for operational use. Background in philosophy / applied linguistics & NLP; previously designed and taught a course on propaganda (how language shapes reactions to media etc.).
Looking for: roles around LLM tooling, evals, interpretability, or applied AI where understanding model behavior is useful.
Tech: Python, Rust, SQL, embeddings, local LLM infra

What I do: I build agentic systems and full-stack infrastructure — things that ship, observe themselves, and run autonomously.
Recent work:
- Founding contributor at NimbleBrain: designed the agentic loop and workflow engine that guides AI agents through building and publishing MCP server integrations end-to-end
- Co-created Vispyr: self-hosted observability platform on AWS with automated infra provisioning, OTel instrumentation, and a full Grafana telemetry stack
- Mozilla Firefox contributor: accessibility and DevTools CSS refactors
Stack I reach for: Python, TypeScript, AWS, Docker, PostgreSQL, Grafana stack, OpenTelemetry, MCP
AI-native: I build with Claude Code daily. Comfortable across the agentic toolchain — RAG, vector DBs, MCP, context engineering.

I founded a real estate development+proptech company, exited an 8-figure gdv residential project and recently sold a decision-support saas for new-development underwriting.
Before that, I did ML research (session-based recsys, re-reranking, model selection optimization), product management at an early-stage vc, and built other end-to-end full-stack AI products that helped real estate brokerages and developers automate more than 150 hours per month in manual research and analysis workflows, increasing their project output by more then 50%.
