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.
