Jay Burgess,
MBA, MScDS, M.Ed, CAE.
I build software worth using and systems that outlast the people who build them. Fifteen years operating at the intersection of data science, AI engineering, and commercial strategy — from Fortune 500 transformation to production agentic AI in higher education. Founder of Revuity Systems, a boutique studio built on one deliberate thesis: stability over reach.
Three domains,
one through-line.
Every engagement converges on the same outcome — AI systems and data infrastructure that generate measurable commercial results.
Pricing & Revenue Intelligence

Deployed ML-powered markdown optimization, competitive pricing engines, and revenue forecasting models directly into commercial decision pipelines. $50M+ in documented revenue impact across a career spent where data science meets commercial strategy.
AI Governance & Agentic Systems
Architect of ReggieAI — an AI-governed compliance decision engine deployed at scale in higher education, generating $2.7M in documented business impact. Now designing and deploying agentic AI systems for organizations ready to move from experimentation to production. Frameworks: OODA/PSB, CoALA architecture, multi-agent orchestration patterns.
Solutions Architecture
Principal Solutions Architect with deep experience designing enterprise data platforms, operational systems, and AI-powered workflows. Designed the full technical stack for production systems serving Fortune 500 clients and regulated industries. Certified across Microsoft Fabric, Databricks, and Google BI.

Revuity Systems
LA-BASED · AI-FIRST SOFTWARE STUDIO · EST. 2022
Revuity Systems is built on a deliberate thesis: stability over reach. Not a growth-at-all-costs agency. Not a dev shop. A precision operator — one founder, Claude Code as build infrastructure, referral-only studio practice, and a growing catalog of self-serve vertical software tools.
Every product and client engagement runs through the same principle: build systems that outlast the people who build them. That means documented architecture, governed AI behavior, and business logic that doesn't live in someone's head.
AI Advisory & Agentic Engineering
Strategy through deployment — from LLM selection to production multi-agent systems
Vertical Data Intelligence
Purpose-built analytics and BI for specific industries and operational contexts
Private Label SaaS
White-label AI products for consultants, advisors, and service businesses

"Build systems that outlast the people who build them."
The value of a system is not in its novelty — it's in its reliability. I've watched organizations fall in love with technology and forget to build the governance structures that keep it honest. That gap is where most AI projects fail.
My practice is built around a different frame: stability over reach. Fewer clients, longer engagements, deeper outcomes. Documented architecture over tribal knowledge. Governed AI behavior over vibe-based deployment.
The goal is always the same: when I'm done, the system runs. When I leave, it still runs. That's the brief.

Let's build something
worth building.
I work with organizations ready to move from AI experimentation to production systems. Referrals preferred. Serious engagements only.
