Summary
Clayton Jordan is a multidisciplinary creator and technologist who blends 11 years of engineering leadership in test automation with an MFA-trained career in screenwriting and filmmaking. He designs and ships robust automation systems for SaaS products while also writing, directing, and producing story-driven branded content for clients like Unilever and Jim Beam. An early adopter of AI-native media, Clayton treats generative tools as extensions of craft—prioritizing character, tone, and narrative coherence over novelty—and will begin teaching an AI Filmmaking course at DePaul in Spring 2026. He’s equally comfortable building Playwright- and Cypress-based test suites as he is iterating narrative proof-of-concepts with current image, video, and audio AI toolchains. Clayton’s rare combination of production-hardened delivery skills and award-winning storytelling means ideas don’t just get pitched, they get finished.
