Open to US relocation

Agent Systems Engineer · Founder Hard Machine Labs

Demos are easy. Reliable agent execution in production is the real problem — requiring orchestration, validation, persistent context, separated roles, and mechanical release gates.

I build agent systems that ship to production.

I'm Jordach Makaya.

And I authored the open spec for how AI agents read and index the web. Built on llms.txt. Goes further where it stops.

That's what I build — from the harness to the release gate.
