Jake built us an AI music tagger from scratch -- helping us realize how simple use of AI can remove blockers and speed up our product delivery.

Jake is incredibly efficient and adept at finding novel solutions to complex problems. Nearly a year before AI agents were available to the public, he coded a custom "BrandGPT" for us from scratch, capable of ingesting 10x the normal token count worth of training docs while preventing the data from being used to train outside models. It generated highly specialized creative briefs and branded copy on the spot for pennies, paying for itself 5 times over in cost savings by the end of the quarter.
