Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolJames Westover is a founder and CTO with 11 years building high-throughput, self-sustaining AI and data infrastructure that continues to run without its creator. He honed his skills at Uber and HERE, leading continental-scale telemetry and navigation systems, founding Uber’s Python Platform, and executing company-wide Python 2→3 migrations across hundreds of services with no rollbacks. At Westover Labs he runs a 12-persona autonomous agent team that autonomously ships production code, CI/CD, and security work, and delivers customizable AI infra (FastAPI, ONNX, pgvector, Ansible) to clients in 3–6 months. A physicist with an MBA and a track record of designing failure out of systems, he focuses on production ML inference and infrastructure-as-code so teams own systems after engagements end. Based in Berlin and fluent in large-scale operational constraints, he specializes in turning sociotechnical migration problems into repeatable tooling and processes. He deliberately prices for speed and durability: more costly per month than a mid-level hire, but delivering years of engineering in months.
