Jonathan Major

Founder, Agentic Studio Labs · Senior AI Engineer

Jonathan works best on serious builds: AI products, internal systems, and agentic workflows where architecture, trust boundaries, and production handoff matter. The work is less about abstract AI strategy and more about getting a real system built, deployed, and handed over cleanly.

Recent systems shipped under Agentic Studio Labs include ShellScan (pre-deployment security scanning for AI agent skills and MCP servers) and IngestGate (a retrieval quality gate for RAG pipelines) — the full build log lives on the technical profile.

Enough depth for real operating constraints

The value here isn't generic AI enthusiasm. It's delivery experience, enterprise operating history, and security judgment combined — the mix that makes serious systems easier to trust.

Where the background is strongest

Agentic Studio Labs sits at the intersection of AI engineering, enterprise platform delivery, and security-sensitive operating environments.

ai engineering

Production AI systems, not demos

Builds and deploys AI systems that do real work: agentic workflows, retrieval systems, evaluation layers, context infrastructure, and productized internal tooling.

agentic systems

Orchestration and the hard edges

Strong on orchestration, tool use, MCP servers, LangGraph-style multi-agent patterns, and the hard edges around handoff, control, and observability.

security & grc

Trust boundaries and compliance depth

Deep experience with trust boundaries, AI risk, compliance programs, audit workflows, threat modeling, MDR/DFIR, and production controls for regulated work.

enterprise systems

Comfortable at enterprise stakes

Comfortable in environments where deployment quality, integration complexity, and executive credibility matter as much as model choice or demo quality.

The career line

The full detail — every shipped system, every engagement — lives on the technical profile. This is the buyer's-eye summary.
