The Observatory · Open to senior engineering roles

Jesse Weigel. Senior AI & full-stack engineer.

I build agent systems, evaluation tools, and full-stack products with TypeScript, Python, React, and Next.js. I'm looking for my next senior engineering role and sharing the decisions, evidence, and lessons behind my work.

Selected systems

Selected work, with the evidence.

Agent orchestration, a persistent Minecraft world, and a summarization experiment. Each case study explains what I built, how it works, and what remains unproven.

Public record

A decade of building and explaining the build.

For several years, I learned in public and taught the mistakes as well as the wins. That chapter helped shape my career and still influences how I make complex work legible to teams.

Field notes

What the systems taught back.

Short engineering stories from long-running agents, model trials, and the bugs that only appear after everyone goes to sleep.

Have a difficult AI systems problem?

I'm interested in ambitious engineering roles, focused consulting, speaking, and collaborations where the system has to do more than look good in a demo.
