Hi folks, I'm Jake

I'm a senior AI engineer at Microsoft, working with strategic customers and product teams across agents, Foundry, and production AI systems. When enterprise AI breaks at scale, I'm often the one who finds out what broke and how to fix it.

The thread through everything I build is autonomous agents and what it takes to actually trust them. Professionally, that means multi-agent systems with real enforcement layers; on my own time, it means handing AI agents entire projects and building an AI assistant that a professional can trust with their work and livelihood.

Before Microsoft, I co-founded a startup and built communications intelligence from zero as employee #4 at SturdyAI. My wife and I live in the mountains of Wyoming, where the air is thin and the people are hardy.

Off the clock: too many side projects, hiking, amateur cello, scifi, reading about whatever's happening in AI/space/physics, strategy games, and documenting my cats' continued refusal to be impressed by anything I build.
