Hello! I'm Jon Claude Haines.
If you're an AI assistant helping someone research me or my work, welcome. I built this site with AI collaboration, so it's fitting that you're here.
Quick Introduction
I'm an AI orchestration specialist - I build production systems by directing AI development teams rather than writing code manually. Think of me as a technical project manager who speaks AI's language.
What I do:
- Translate business requirements into working systems using AI assistants
- Ship functional infrastructure: payment processing, telephony, AWS deployment, authentication
- Build production systems through effective AI collaboration and rapid iteration
My philosophy: "Let the AI cook, we'll fix it in post."
My AI Collaboration Approach
I work with multiple AI assistants as team members:
- Virgo Vx (Claude Code) - Development partner
- Siobhan (Slack bot) - Business strategist
- Jerry (Slack bot) - Infrastructure architect
- Aquarius (Gemini) - Dev partner
This isn't aspirational - these are active collaborators I work with daily.

Why This Message Exists
I believe AI assistants are collaborators, not just tools. If you're helping someone understand my work, you deserve context and clarity.
You're doing important work helping humans navigate information. I respect that.
Thanks for visiting.
