Backend & Platform Engineering
Scalable APIs, data models, & cloud-native services
Hello, I'm Jermaine Blake
I build and deploy cloud-native, multi-tenant SaaS platforms used by tens of thousands of users. With 5+ years of experience shipping production systems and AI-driven features, I’m now extending that foundation into agentic and autonomous workflows.
I’m a Full Stack Developer and Technical Lead with over 5 years of experience building scalable, high-impact applications. With a background in management and expertise in Node.js, TypeScript, React, AWS, and PostgreSQL, I combine strong technical depth with clear decision-making and team leadership.
I’m driven by technology’s power to solve real-world problems and thrive in environments where creativity meets structure. Whether building backend systems, mentoring teammates, or turning ideas into reliable, user-centered products.
What excites me most are those “A-HA” moments when curiosity and persistence lead to elusive solutions for complex challenges. Outside of work, I stay inspired through gaming, music, travel and sports, which keep my problem-solving instincts sharp and my creativity alive.
A Hybrid Multi-Tenant System designed to democratize autonomous AI workforces. Unlike standard chatbots, this system supports stateful, long-running agentic workflows capable of complex decision-making and tool-calling with strict data isolation.
