Hi, I'm Jon — I build autonomous AI agents that replace SaaS.

Principal AI Product Architect at Primary Residential Mortgage. I bridge executive strategy and technical engineering — designing AI-executable product specifications, orchestrating LLMs, and shipping the agents myself.

About

Hybrid AI product manager & architect.

I'm a hybrid AI Product Manager and Architect who bridges the gap between executive strategy and technical engineering. Currently, I'm the Principal AI Product Architect at PRMI, where I lead the strategic transition from legacy SaaS dependencies to internally built, AI-generated software solutions.

Unlike traditional PMs, I don't just write tickets — I design AI-executable product specifications, orchestrate LLMs, and build the AI agents myself. I hold a Master of Science in Information Systems (MSIS) from the University of Utah's David Eccles School of Business and specialize in turning AI hype into shipping, revenue-generating software.

My focus: secure, scalable, automation-first systems that drive real value — for borrowers, loan officers, and the business.
