Julie Clarkson

Applied AI Product Builder, Consultant and Educator

Jacobus Company, LLC

Builds end-to-end applied AI products from real-life problems: research, product strategy, UX, full-stack implementation, testing, security review, launch, and iteration. Every project starts from a reusable product-template harness; the tools, models, agents, modules, and review processes are chosen per product.

• Owns the whole product — research through launch — as a solo builder.
• Maintains a reusable product-template harness that carries standards, questions, and decision records across projects.
• Uses role-based AI agents and adversarial product-testing personas selectively, not by default.
• Treats safety as product design: constrained permissions, quarantine areas, input scanning, package review, sandboxed environments, bounded iteration loops, and explicit human approval.

Superfly Web Designs

Spent more than 20 years designing and developing custom websites and WordPress themes for clients. That work built deep context for users, interfaces, visual systems, information architecture, client communication, constraints, and delivery.

• Delivered independently, inside real budget and timeline constraints.
• Organized complex information into structures people can navigate.
