Senior🎓
Top SchoolJacob Rafati is a Ph.D.-trained AI engineer and serial founder with a decade of experience building AI-driven marketing and go-to-market systems from research to production. As Co-Founder and CTO across multiple startups (including kredit.sh, dble, aria glasses, and VibeFlows) he designs agentic AI, content-generation platforms, and risk management for autonomous agents that connect to thousands of marketing tools and social channels. His industry work spans enterprise ML at Expedia and Dell—where he built large-scale ad bidding and sales-forecasting systems—and early-stage product delivery that can turn ideas into MVPs in weeks. Based in Seattle, he blends deep research rigor with hands-on engineering across Python, React, and production ML stacks, and pursues ambitious moonshots in longevity and AR alongside commercial marketing products. Notably, he builds agent wallets and kredit scores to control agent spending—an uncommon intersection of fintech-style controls and AI agent orchestration.
