Meet the founders

Jack is an AI Specialist and Senior Software Engineer on PayPal's Developer Productivity Engineering, DevOps AI Tools team, where he oversees the company's agentic coding tooling — Claude Code, Codex, Cursor, and GitHub Copilot.

He first joined PayPal as a contracted AI Specialist in 2023, where he was credited with using AI to remediate $30M of technical debt — roughly 150,000 engineering hours — in a single week. He has since joined full-time and continued that work at greater scale. His professional focus is a single thing: maximizing developer and software-development productivity with AI.

DashVox is that same mission applied to his own life. It came out of his workflow: a two-hour daily commute, a history of carpal tunnel from heavy typing, and the realization that AI agents could do the work — but he still had to sit at a desk, in front of a screen, with both hands on a keyboard to direct them. DashVox is his answer to that constraint.

Outside of work, Jack is a compulsive builder of ambitious systems — from an economic simulation with 200 AI agents to a Twitch developer-tools hackathon winner. DashVox is the one he's committing to building into a company.

Mike brings deep cloud-native platform engineering and security experience. He has led large-scale infrastructure migrations and authored published research on agentic AI orchestration. He is an incoming VP and Senior Lead Software Engineer at JPMorganChase, and the founder of Mission Peak Labs.

His background in secure, production-grade systems directly shapes DashVox's architecture: agents run on your own machine over SSH, the backend is fully self-hostable, and your code can stay entirely within your own perimeter. That security-first foundation is what positions DashVox for enterprise use beyond individual developers.
