JAMES BLACKWELL
Full‑stack engineer and designer building edge‑native, AI‑powered experiences that turn live data into ambient software.
I’ve shipped products across finance, logistics, media, and cultural institutions—always with fast, global delivery and simple, human interfaces.
WHAT I BUILD
- Edge‑native web apps on Cloudflare (Workers, Durable Objects, R2, Stream) that run fast, globally, with zero‑ops.
- AI systems that see, listen, and talk—LLMs, vision, RAG—woven into playful, useful interfaces.
- End‑to‑end products: design, build, deploy, iterate—with a bias for simple, reliable surfaces.
- Pieces that surprise: ambient software, realtime visuals, and narrative UX.
MY CAREER
I spent eight years in psychotherapy learning to read patterns, clarify messy problems, and communicate simply. That training shaped how I build software: start from human reality, then design the system around it.
Today I design and ship full‑stack products that pair strong engineering with intention—Cloudflare at the edge, AI where it adds meaning, and interfaces that feel calm, alive, and useful.
