Jesse Mahoney Founder & Machine Learning Engineer | Agentic Systems, Authorization, Runtime Governance & Auditability, LLM Red Teaming | Building Real-World AI (stealth) San Francisco Bay Area (US) 201 connections • 227 followers About At a Stealth AI Infrastructure Startup, my role as Founder and Machine Learning Engineer centers on creating advanced agentic AI systems. I focus on designing production-grade control layers for LLM-powered agent systems, implementing staged decision flows, and developing replayable evaluation frameworks to analyze agent behavior. My work emphasizes runtime governance, traceability, and failure clarity, with a commitment to long-term system reliability. My self-directed engineering education has allowed me to architect AI-driven decision platforms that integrate real-time data streams, predictive modeling, and automated risk controls in adversarial, high-stakes environments. I am driven by a passion for building explainable, reliable, and safe AI applications, with a focus on addressing real-world challenges through innovative system design and rigorous testing. Right now, a small group of people are watching me build this in public. We’re close to launch. If you’re interested in:• agent systems that don’t rely on vibes • governance that exists at runtime, not in PDFs • building infrastructure instead of slides. Follow along & if you’re top-tier talent who wants to work on something hard, foundational, and early. I'm always looking to connect — you’ll recognize why this matters.
