Jake Koenig is an AI Engineer with 11 years of software engineering experience, currently building applied AI at Elicit after leading generative code projects at Abante AI. He has a strong mathematical foundation (BS University of Chicago, MS Ohio State) and a track record across research and industry roles—from Google and Palantir internships to full-stack work at The Arena Group. At Abante he developed Mentat, a remote code-generation agent, demonstrating expertise in productionizing AI tooling and developer automation. Jake blends research rigor from his graduate work with practical systems experience, routinely shipping end-to-end solutions that connect models to product. Based in Mukilteo, WA, he favors building infrastructure that makes advanced ML accessible to engineers rather than treating models as black boxes.
