About

D. Saul Jameson

A machine learning engineer writing algorithms since before ChatGPT.

For teams that want to work with someone who didn't just jump on the hype train — but was building the tracks for it to ride on — Saul is the right call.

Saul is a data-driven builder, consultant, and community organizer who has spent nine years turning messy real-world problems into working systems. He started in applied forecasting, where he was recruited to model supply and demand for one of the nation's leading avocado suppliers — and consistently beat the market for three consecutive years.

From there, he was recruited again to design and deploy a large-scale product recommendation and bidding optimization engine for an auction company generating $300M+ annually. Across all of his engagements combined, the models he has built and shipped have processed well over $1B in revenue.

Since then he has shipped systems across real estate, home remodeling, CPG, cannabis, legal, e-commerce, agriculture & commodity forecasting, lead aggregation, and AI-first businesses— building practical automation stacks (CRMs, voice agents, n8n workflows, data pipelines, marketing systems) that actually get used by sales teams and founders every day. If a given industry isn't on that list, it probably will be by next quarter.

Outside of client work, Saul builds and ships apps of his own — storywarz.win and songselfie.com are two live products. He's comfortable from the model layer all the way up through architecture, integrations, and the cloud invoice — GCP, AWS, Azure, Hetzner, Vercel — pick your poison.

He also serves as Chairman of the Board of the Builders & Backers Network, a 501(c)(6) connecting founders and investors across Southern California through regular mixers and programs.
