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. Based in the UK, abroad for now; back within days for a UK role. Contractor through Deel or Remote or as a UK sole trader; permanent through Deel or Remote, or direct once I'm back.

Built an app with AI tools?
I get it ready for real customers at a fixed price: I fix what would break, test the real payment and signup flows, and stay responsible for it for 30 days.
