RÉSUMÉ

Jimmy Weber

AGENTIC ENGINEER
CREATIVE TECHNOLOGIST

[email protected]

I build internal AI-powered tools that automate workflows, reduce manual effort, and make teams more productive. My background as a filmmaker taught me to direct specialists toward a unified outcome. Now I apply that discipline to AI systems, orchestrating LLMs, APIs, and automation frameworks to deliver working products.

I am a practical builder: I break problems down, define constraints, validate output, enforce quality, and ship. I have experience integrating models into real software workflows, designing system behaviors, and ensuring reliability at scale. I use AI as leverage, not a shortcut, and continue growing my programming depth so that every product I build is maintainable and production-ready.

Previously, I designed and animated motion graphics for brands like Nike, HBO, Apple, and Bank of America. Today, I direct AI systems to build internal tools, automation platforms, data pipelines, and interactive software with a focus on tangible business value, not hype.
