AI Engineer · Senior / Staff
Agents users touch, agents that write code, and the platforms that run them.
I have ridden the whole arc of AI-assisted engineering, from smart line completions in an editor to agentic coding to frameworks that operate fleets of coding agents, and I have been putting agents in production the entire time.
Shipped, funded, and running
Agent work with users, revenue stakes, and receipts.
I built autonomous LangChain agents that change passwords, log in, and manage email on users’ behalf. They became a core fundraising narrative and powered an AI onboarding experience that measurably boosted adoption and retention.
At Block Party I designed and built the framework behind the company’s internal AI coding bots. On my own time I run Fountain, a multi-tenant control plane for sandboxed coding agents that was largely built by the agents it orchestrates. Fountain ships under BinaryBourbon, the GitHub identity my agent fleet works under. I set the roadmap, review the work, and operate the system.
I cofounded Ravi, where AI agents manage their own accounts, secrets, and 2FA. It raised a $400K pre-seed from South Park Commons and grew to hundreds of users, with the instrumented v1’s real usage data carrying the pitch.
I am a member of the MCP Hosting Working Group, publish MCP servers, and contributed to the Dart MCP SDK. This site practices what I pitch. ai.jakegaylor.com serves an A2A agent card and an MCP server, so your screening agent can interview me directly.
My first 90 days on your AI roadmap
Most orgs have workflows an agent could own today and features an agent can’t carry yet. I sort one from the other before writing code.
An embarrassingly small v1 in front of real users with tracking from day one, the same way Ravi won its funding.
Sandboxing, review gates, and observability, so scaling from one agent to a fleet is an operations problem instead of a leap of faith.
“Jake is a force for good unlike any other. He migrated our infra to a cheaper and more scalable system, crafted a CI pipeline that accelerated deploys by 30x, and taught the whole company how to make data-driven decisions by building an entire product analytics stack. And that was just his first 6 months.”
