Founder and senior engineer
San Francisco, building production AI and data systems
I build the platforms behind ambitious products.
I am JC Lanoë, a founder and senior software engineer. My work moves between AI products, data platforms, computer vision, MLOps, and backend systems, from consumer media to autonomous agriculture to AI-search automation.
Experience previews
