Open to remote roles, contract or permanent

Software engineer. Eight years before AI; now building and running production software with coding agents.

I'm Jay Stewart. Since March 2026 I build and run SpiralClass in production with coding agents: real payments, live video with translated captions, and an LLM pipeline that turns each class into learning notes the teacher checks. Most of the code is agent-written; I review it, test it and run it.

UK citizen. UTC−6; my hours flex to your team: UK afternoons or the US working day. Contract through Deel or Remote, or direct as a UK sole trader.
