Jack Quinn

I'm an engineer in New York. I've worked at big companies, startups, and consulted independently. The main theme of my career is that I'm the technical person a customer talks to. I learn what they need, build it, and stay until it runs smoothly.

Since 2022 I've been the engineer behind D2 Labs, an education technology company. Its products are MyVoice, an anonymous feedback platform used by 20,000 educators across six US states, and Students First, which state education agencies use to roll out strategic priorities to their districts. Both run agents in production on sensitive data, and both went from zero to one with me as the sole engineer: discovery, implementation, validation, and the long-term support that follows.

I got my start at Capital One, where I went from associate to lead engineer in three and a half years, working on cloud resiliency and recovery, chaos testing, and the model training platform. After that I co-founded New Memories as CTO and built its agent platform from zero.

On the side, I run Nearly Useful, a small game studio. I'm training embedded humanoid motion models for our first game, FINAL OUT!

I'm passionate about a future where AI enhances us instead of making us redundant. I care about the boring but critical work that will get us there: evals, model inference, and agentic infrastructure.
