About Matt Jesuele

AI hasn\'t replaced developers. It has revealed that most \"development\" was always just translation—requirements to syntax.The value was never in the typing. It was in the decisions.I founded Ansatz because I kept seeing the same pattern:→ Founders who built an MVP in a weekend with AI.and are now terrified to touch it.→ CTOs who inherited a codebase that lives in one person\'s head.→ Scale-ups with product-market fit but zero velocity—senior devs drowning in boilerplate.Ansatz is an Agentic Development Partner. We don\'t bill hours for bodies. We ship outcomes:Diagnose — 48-hour codebase assessment. Surface the real risks.Build — Set up the agentic dev infrastructure (specs, workflows, validation loops).Operate — Run the loop for you. Production code shipped weekly. Immediate velocity.Transfer — When you\'re ready, we hand off the system to your team.We\'re not a traditional dev shop. We\'re not consultants who hand you a PDF and walk away.We make the hard decisions. We ship the code. We run the system that makes your system work.If you built something that works but you\'re afraid to ship changes—or you need dev velocity without the dev headcount—let\'s talk.

Experience

1. Founder

   Ansatz

   Jan 2025 — Present

   Ansatz helps engineering teams ship faster by systematizing AI dev workflows.What we do- Turn ad-hoc AI tool usage (Cursor, Claude, etc.) into a repeatable system- Externalize tribal knowledge into specs so you\'re not hostage to key people- Run agentic dev loops that deliver production code weeklyWho we help- Founders who built fast with AI but now face the \"house of cards\" problem—terrified to deploy, no tests, no docs- CTOs stuck with \"only Dave knows how this works\" situations- Scaling teams where shipping feels slower than it shouldHow it works- Diagnostic to assess current state and surface real risks- Then implementation: process setup, workflow design, hands-on deliveryWe\'re not a traditional dev shop billing hours. We ship outcomes—working code, every week.
