Summary
Leroi De Suchiat is an AI-native product engineer with 11 years of experience designing and shipping pragmatic, user-centered software from concept through launch. Based in Portland and operating through BLOCK 365, he builds AI-first products—neighborhood intelligence, quantum risk dashboards, multi-model workspaces, and consumer apps—that stitch together data, UX, and resilient engineering. He blends solutions architecture and hands-on development across Microsoft, React, and serverless stacks, and has a track record of automating monitoring and upkeep to minimize manual overhead. Leroi favors practical AI patterns like agentized build playbooks and parallel-model comparison (Claude, ChatGPT, Gemini) to accelerate delivery without hand-authoring large codebases. His background in curriculum writing and teaching informs clear documentation, training, and operability baked into product designs. Outside of product work he’s built subscription-ready iOS apps and tools that keep humans in the loop, reflecting a thoughtful balance of automation and user control.
