Built a full-stack telehealth platform from zero: patient intake portal, EHR provider UI, and a serverless backend on AWS. FHIR-based architecture on Oystehr with Auth0, appointment scheduling, lab orders, Rx, and automated billing.
- Built an automated fax parsing pipeline that extracts patient data from incoming faxes and maps it directly to FHIR records, eliminating manual data entry.
Built a voice agent system on Retell AI that autonomously calls insurance adjusters to gather case information, replacing hours of manual outreach per claim.
- Designed an iteration-based versioning system so the team can test and promote new agent versions without touching live calls.
- Built an analytics suite tracking call outcomes, success rates, and campaign coverage.
Designed and built an agentic coding framework that brings AI-assisted development into every phase of the SDLC, from ticket to merged code.
- Skills map to development phases and chain: spec, build, execute, test, pre-review, MR review. Each defines explicit inputs, outputs, and checkpoints.
- Runs inside Claude Code, Cursor, or Codex and pulls live context from Jira, Confluence, and Figma. Works across multiple repos.
- A podcast of a podcast. PodCore distills hour-long episodes into 5-minute audio summaries, plus a written brief with key concepts, notable quotes, and takeaways.
- Subscribe to any show via YouTube URL and get the brief delivered to your inbox the moment a new episode drops.
- Founded and launched Linda, an iOS app that conducts real-time AI interviews and transforms them into polished podcast episodes, published directly to Spotify and Apple Music.
- Named after my mother, inspired by a road trip where I realized I'd never actually recorded her stories. Built for anyone who wants a living audio archive of their own life.
- Users have created thousands of episodes. Average session time of 30 minutes; 45% WAU/MAU for power users.
- Raised angel funding from Factorial Capital and Alex Chung (GIPHY founder).
- First engineer. Built much of the foundational infrastructure: the website, v2 web crawlers, and early content pipelines. Contributed to the API and search engine from the ground up.
- Built foundational systems for a platform that scaled to 2–3 billion daily searches and hundreds of millions of users worldwide.
- Took on the company's most forward-looking technical problems independently, laying the groundwork for GIPHY's ML org.
- Built and led GIPHY's ML org from the ground up. Grew to a team of 5 ML engineers covering search, recommendations, content intelligence, and generative content.
- Trained and open-sourced GIPHY's celebrity detection model, a custom CNN identifying 2,300+ celebrities at 98% accuracy.
- Built GIPHY2Vec, an in-house NLP model for content recommendations and semantic KNN search.
- Integrated vector search across GIPHY's core search product, achieving 50–200% CTR lift on long-tail queries.
- Built a semantic query clustering microservice that enabled a 5–10x increase in advertiser keyword inventory.
- Fine-tuned generative models for production use: AnimateDiff for video content, CLIP for recommendations, LLMs for search taxonomy.
Part of Atlanta Tech Village's selective advisor program, working with early-stage startups on AI, fundraising, product strategy, team building, and engineering.
- Migrated Alan Lomax's Global Jukebox, a vast ethnomusicology archive, off a local Java server and into a cloud-hosted Django API with a queryable database.
- Uploaded thousands of field recordings and audio files to cloud storage, making them publicly accessible for the first time at scale.
- The project launched to New York Times coverage in July 2017.
- Migrated Rhizome's sprawling PHP codebase to Django, modernizing the platform for one of the world's leading digital art organizations.
- Rebuilt the ArtBase, Rhizome's archive of born-digital artworks, into a custom museum management CMS.
- Collaborated with the Getty to develop a new ontology for describing and classifying digital artworks.
I take on a small number of engagements at a time. I work directly with founders and engineering leads, and I do the hands-on work.
Agentic Systems
Voice agents, coding agents, multi-step orchestration pipelines. I've built these across insurance, healthcare, and developer tooling.
AI Strategy and Enablement
Where AI fits in your stack, what to build vs. buy, and how to build the internal practices that make adoption stick.
Platform and Product Build
Full-stack AI-powered platforms from architecture to production. Useful when you have a clear problem and need a technical lead who can also make product decisions.
Based in Atlanta, GA. Available for remote and on-site engagements. Reach out at jnhasty@gmail.com.
