I’m Jake Harris, a software engineer at Docusign and the founder of JJH Digital, a software consultancy.

At Docusign I work on the Workspaces team. I built the team’s cronjobs infrastructure from scratch, wrote a 200-page API parity analysis that became the reference for our global expansion initiative, and deployed Redis and CosmosDB across six production regions. I lead incident response for major releases and I’ve driven AI tooling adoption across the engineering org. The stack is C#/.NET, gRPC, Kubernetes, and Azure.

Before Docusign, I co-founded AG, an AI-powered travel platform. I led frontend development, helped raise $3M in funding, and grew the platform to 50,000 monthly users. That experience is where I developed a conviction that AI isn’t something you bolt on at the end. It’s an architecture decision you make on day one.

Through JJH Digital I take on consulting work for businesses that need more than a template. Full stack applications, AI integrations, custom e-commerce platforms. TypeScript, React, Next.js, and whatever else the problem calls for. Clients own their code.

I spend a lot of time thinking about AI beyond just using it. Lately I’ve been exploring recursive semantic compression, the idea that intelligence doesn’t scale by making context windows bigger, it scales by compressing information the way biological cognition does, layer by layer. I’ve built agent workflows on enterprise codebases, I write about it on this blog, and my working thesis is that the bottleneck in AI right now isn’t capability. It’s context.

I studied Computer Science at George Washington University, where I rowed Division I and contributed to a 7th place national finish at the IRA Championship. After college I coached my high school rowing club for a season where the team put up multiple podium finishes at Youth Nationals, which for a club out of Atlanta is kind of unheard of. Before any of that, I co-founded Lions Heart, a youth volunteer organization that facilitated over 10,000 hours of community service across metro Atlanta.

I build what works today and chase what will work tomorrow. That’s the whole game.
