Hi, my name is
Jay Stuart.
I build what matters.
AI & cloud consultant. I build generative AI, LLM, and multi-agent systems — and the cloud platforms under them — for startups, enterprise teams, and federal programs where getting it wrong isn't an option.
About
26 years of building systems — from COBOL to Kubernetes to generative AI and multi-agent frameworks. Work spans startups, growth-stage SaaS, enterprise, and federal agencies (NOAA, HHS, FDA, VA, CMS, IRS).
Currently focused on applied AI — LLM products, RAG platforms, AI agent systems, and the cloud infrastructure under them. Pioneered AI agent frameworks delivering 6x acceleration; architected cloud platforms under FedRAMP/NIST 800-53 and contributed to $50M+ in contracts along the way.
Builds in the open, runs a production K8s homelab, cooks seriously.
Available for remote AI and cloud consulting anywhere in the US — generative AI, LLMs, multi-agent systems, RAG, cloud architecture, DevOps, and fractional CTO/AI leadership. Based in Baltimore, on-site across Washington DC, Northern Virginia, and Philadelphia. Private sector, startups, and enterprise welcome.
"Everything's been done before. My job is to make it feel like the first time."

Featured Projects
VisionTest AI
visiontest.aiAI-powered visual regression testing that catches what unit tests miss. Automated screenshot comparison with intelligent diff detection.
SourceBridge AI
sourcebridge.aiCodebase intelligence platform that understands your entire repository. Semantic search, dependency mapping, and AI-driven code analysis at scale.
Project Athena
local • apple siliconFully local AI voice assistant running on Apple Silicon. No cloud dependencies — private, fast, and running on a Mac Studio cluster in the homelab.
AgentPulse
real-time agent observabilityLive dashboard for Claude Code and Codex CLI sessions. See what every agent is doing across your terminal tabs — prompts, tool usage, and session history — with orchestration for launching and managing runs.
Mozart Orchestration
claude code pluginTurns one request into a narrated, multi-agent delivery pipeline — research, plan, specialist review, implement, verify, document. Named subagents run in their own contexts with handoffs you can watch in real time.
The Lab
A personal platform for experimenting with distributed systems, local AI inference, and resilient infrastructure. Not a collection of hardware — a proving ground for architectural decisions before they reach production. 10 GbE core network, 120 Gbps Ceph backend, separate dev environment for staging workloads.

What's Next
Let's Build Something.
Now taking on AI & cloud consulting engagements — generative AI strategy, LLM integration, RAG platforms, AI agents and multi-agent systems, AI product engineering, and the cloud / Kubernetes architecture under them. Also available as a fractional CTO, AI leader, or Chief Architect, and for Principal / Chief Architect and VP Engineering roles.
Private sector first — startups, growth-stage SaaS, and enterprise teams. Federal clients welcome too. Fully remote anywhere in the US, with on-site availability from Baltimore, MD across Washington DC, Northern Virginia, Philadelphia, and the broader Mid-Atlantic.
