I work with teams figuring out AI, and help them get it right.
AI is changing how products should work, how teams should build, and what your competitors can do with half the headcount.
You know you need to move on this. But knowing where to start is the hard part: what to build into your product, how to rewire your team's workflow, which bets are real and which are hype.
You don't need a strategy deck. You need someone who's been through it. Someone who can help your team get there too.

I'm Jake, most recently co-founder and CTO at thirdweb, where I scaled a developer platform from zero to Series A, serving startups to Fortune 500 companies. I built and shipped production AI systems, and transformed the entire organization to be AI-native, from engineering to operations.
How I can help
- Leadership
- Help your product and engineering org move faster. Team structure, hiring bar, processes. The stuff that compounds over time.
- Product
- Figure out what to build, what to cut, and what to ship next. Honest input, even when it's uncomfortable.
- Systems
- Find the bottlenecks and design infrastructure that scales — without overbuilding for problems you don't have yet.
- AI
- Take your team from prototype to production AI. Tooling decisions, architecture patterns, rollout strategy, and the organizational change to make it stick.
How I work
I start by deeply understanding your company: the product, the team, the constraints. I need to understand the full picture before I can be useful.
I work async. In your Slack, in your docs, brainstorming and available when things come up. We sync on a regular cadence to stay aligned on the bigger picture.
We start with a paid trial month. If there's a fit, we continue on a monthly retainer with a three-month minimum. No long-term lock-in, no equity, no fine print.
This works best if you have a team and a product. This isn't a dev shop or an outsourced build.
