Aaron Longnion is a founder and AI architect based in Austin with 11 years of professional experience building production web platforms and a developer since 1999. He leads Craft and Ship, a platform that turns plain-English app descriptions into deployed applications via a multi-agent Claude-based system he architected end-to-end, emphasizing budget control, permission boundaries, self-healing ops, and rigorous testing. His background spans senior full‑stack roles across ColdFusion, Python, TypeScript, Node, C#, and PostgreSQL at organizations from Adobe and HomeAway to startups, giving him a rare blend of legacy system expertise and modern AI-first engineering. Aaron is pragmatic about agentic AI—focusing less on prompts and more on failure recovery, knowledge accumulation, and keeping human judgment where it matters—and has built a pipeline with 4,000+ automated tests and staged senior-engineer approval gates. He combines entrepreneurial instincts (multiple founding roles) with deep hands-on architecture and automated operations experience.
