Senior AI Engineer · Microsoft
Jacob Centner
I design and ship production multi-agent systems at enterprise scale — from internal tools rolling out across Microsoft support engineering to autonomous agents serving paying clients. I've built a repeatable methodology for AI-assisted development that turns ideas into production apps in days, not months.
One of my tools cut guide-authoring time by 70–80%. Another shipped a civic transparency app to hundreds of users in ~20 hours of work.

Sentinel: Catching Docs Drift in AI-Accelerated Repos
18 detectors across 5 languages, 1,300+ tests, and 88% precision on real-world repos. Open source and built for AI-accelerated teams.
A local repo health monitor that finds docs drift, stale references, dependency drift, and other cross-artifact inconsistencies in fast-moving codebases.

About Me
I work on Azure AI at Microsoft, where I help enterprise customers build and debug production AI systems. Before that, I co-founded a startup and built communications intelligence from zero. I live in the mountains of Wyoming, hike too much, and have two absurdly fluffy cats.
