About
JourdanLabs is led by Leland "TJ" Jourdan II, a Senior AI Solutions Architect with a consulting background in operational systems, applied AI, and cross-functional delivery.
System Design Philosophy
The goal is not novelty—it's reliability at scale.
- Start with the workflow, not the model.
- Optimize for clarity before optimization.
- Design for failure modes, not best-case demos.
- Treat AI as infrastructure, not magic.
How I Work
Async-first and outcome-driven—designed for distributed teams that value clarity over noise.
Written architecture
Decision logs, diagrams, constraints, and tradeoffs—so teams can move without meetings.
Clear ownership
From discovery through deployment, with handoff-ready documentation and operational intent.
Minimal meetings
Maximal clarity—milestones, measurable outcomes, and predictable delivery cadence.
Experience
Energy, Supply Chain, Financial Services, and platform-level AI implementations.
