Jesse Lennon

I build systems that build systems.

I'm an AI-augmented engineer. I design multi-agent systems, distributed infrastructure, and software products, then use AI to build and operate them.

My daily workflow runs through a team of specialized AI agents I designed from the ground up. They handle architecture, implementation, DevOps, strategy, content, research, and coordination. I make the decisions, define the architecture, write the test specs, and debug when things break. The agents help me ship at a pace that used to require a full team.

Before this, I spent 8 years in operations and quality assurance, including QA leadership at Coinbase across NFT Marketplace, Institutional Custody, and Prime Brokerage. That foundation taught me how systems fail, which turns out to be the most useful thing you can know when building systems that work.

11 specialized AI agents built on Anthropic's Claude API. Four-tier model routing (local Ollama at $0 through Opus), institutional memory, and a dedicated security squad that breaks what the team builds. An 8-layer quality pipeline, from automated hooks to adversarial code audits to Playwright visual QA, ensures everything ships clean. Used daily to build everything on this site.

Gestalt Labs In Development

AI-Powered Security Company

AI security company built on a multi-agent ensemble architecture. Multiple specialized AI agents analyze targets from different angles, each seeing something different. Together, they see everything. The platform powers multiple security products through a shared engine with three-tier model routing and six specialist agent types. Flagship product WalletGuard.ai is a five-product wallet security suite: contract auditing, real-time monitoring, emergency response, inheritance planning, and on-chain legal entities. Expansion path into general code security, API testing, compliance automation, and AI model security.

Silvic Trading Ecosystem

Silvic V3 Live

AI Trading Desk

AI trading desk on Arbitrum + Base. An Analyst and Portfolio Manager (both Sonnet, tool-use) make real-time decisions against a rules-based playbook. WebSocket OMS handles stops, trailing, and conditional entries. Weekly Strategist reviews on Opus tune the playbook. Hard-coded risk guardrails keep AI autonomy within bounds.

Experience

Program Manager, CX Technology and AI

2023 - Present

Tools for Humanity


  • Led the implementation of Zendesk's advanced AI bots for a global support org. Ran a 5% live traffic test, used real user flow data to rebuild the bot from scratch with structured use-case management. Drove containment from ~55% to a peak of 88%, sustaining ~82% average.
  • Own the full Zendesk platform: administration, triggers, automations, 6 AI bots, WFM, 5 QA programs, and cross-platform workflows (macro management, help center badge automation, Slack-to-Zendesk ticketing, Jira administration, Notion integrations).
  • Picked up iOS (Swift) and Android (Kotlin) Zendesk SDK integration with zero allocated engineering resources. Set up build environments from scratch (Bitrise CI/CD, Lokalise i18n, app emulators). Built A/B/C testing infrastructure with PostHog feature flags for safe production experimentation.
  • Built 6 custom Zendesk apps: a fix for a platform-level SDK authentication bug affecting all custom-auth customers, a sanctions compliance app that auto-tags and escalates restricted-country cases, and a dynamic bug tagging system that routes around native platform limitations.
  • Built a provisioning platform managing 800+ BPO agents across Zendesk and Sana LMS. Time-driven and on-edit triggers keep profiles synced: role changes repush groups and skills, status changes auto-provision or deprovision across both platforms with full audit trails. Domain and role-based access whitelisting for roster permissions. Cut provisioning errors by ~95%.
  • Designed a localization pipeline between EduMe and Lokalise, managing 120K+ translation keys across 20+ languages. Built a dynamic workbook for real-time import/export of translations to work around EduMe's rigid ingestion format.

QA Team Lead, Ecosystems

2021 - 2023

Coinbase


  • Led QA across NFT Marketplace launch (6-month project from inception), Institutional Custody, and Prime Brokerage. Built every QA program from scratch: scorecards, scoring rubrics, auditing cadence, performance management, and training. Navigated novel content moderation challenges unique to NFTs.
  • Built and managed the Critical Error Remediation program end to end, including weekly CE Aging reporting to cross-functional stakeholders. Program passed a regulatory audit with zero findings.

Senior Quality Analyst, Client Services

2020 - 2021

Coinbase


  • Designed, launched, and managed QA programs across Institutional Custody (Cold Storage), Exchange, and Institutional Onboarding. All programs built to adhere to KYC, AML, OFAC, and SOC 1 and 2 compliance standards.
  • Redesigned the Institutional Onboarding QA program to report on application-level effort and surface new KPIs, improving visibility into onboarding pipeline quality.
