πŸ‘‹ Hey, I'm Jake Henshall

πŸš€ Full Stack Developer & AI Engineer
I architect AI-powered platforms and automation systems using Laravel, Python, LangChain, and vector databases.
I build scalable backends, intelligent retrieval pipelines (RAG), and ship production-ready features fast.

I own problems end-to-end β€” turning ambiguity into working systems that automate real workloads and scale reliably.


🧠 What I Do

  • Architect backend platforms with Laravel, Python, and GoLang
  • Build AI automation pipelines using LangChain, Supabase, and vector DBs (Pinecone/Qdrant)
  • Develop RAG systems, semantic search, and LLM function-calling logic
  • Ship full-stack applications with React, Next.js, and TypeScript
  • Implement CI/CD (GitHub Actions + Docker) for zero-downtime releases
  • Standardise engineering practices across distributed teams

πŸ’‘ Key Achievements

AI Automation Platforms Built CI/CD Revenue Uplift

  • Built production-grade AI automation pipelines that reduced manual workload by 70%
  • Architected 15+ scalable platforms with Laravel, Python, and TypeScript
  • Designed automated CI/CD pipelines that cut deployment time by 50%
  • Optimised Shopify & WooCommerce platforms, generating up to 40% revenue uplift
