Preston Guillory is a founder and full-stack engineer with 15 years of experience building high-throughput, production-grade systems from browser to database. He led Pinterest’s real-time spam-fighting platform that processed hundreds of thousands of events per second and mentored teams on unsupervised ML, then translated that scale mentality into AI-first startups like Mocha and Stumpy.ai. At Mocha he architected sandbox orchestration and a cache-aware context system enabling agentic apps to maintain coherence across thousands of messages; at Stumpy.ai he’s focused on persistent, secure AI agents that live in everyday messaging channels. Comfortable across infrastructure, orchestration, web clients, and security, he blends product-minded engineering with pragmatic cost and platform decisions. Based in San Francisco, he repeatedly ships end-to-end solutions — often rebuilding core systems to remove limits and vendor lock-in. An early tinkerer who founded cloud and platform projects dating back to 2010, he brings entrepreneurial grit alongside deep systems craftsmanship.
