From bold ideas to reliable AI systems.

Founded by Ed Jaeger (full-stack developer & cloud architect, 20+ years), Birthbaum builds secure, scalable platforms for data-driven products, analytics, and agentic AI - shipped carefully, fast.

Overview

Pragmatic architecture

Secure, scalable systems for data platforms and emerging AI workflows. We design for correctness, observability, and calm operations.

From zero → MVP

We take startups from concept to launch with clear docs, dependable infra, and quick iteration - no heroics, just good engineering.

Care & transparency

Self-hosted when it makes sense, cloud when it's smart. Reverse proxies, SSL automation, CI/CD, and measured rollouts.

Capabilities

Agentic AI

Internal ChatGPT-style bots and AI agents that orchestrate tools (search, code, data, APIs) with guardrails, logging, and human handoff.

MPC & privacy

Exploring multi-party computation and tokenized joins so teams can collaborate on sensitive data without exposing raw inputs.

Dashboards from any data

From civic datasets to product analytics, we build AI-assisted dashboards and auto-summaries your team can trust.

Recent work

Infra revamp + agents

Private client: multi-repo CI/CD, scalable API system, and AI agents that assist developer workflows.

Traffic Harvester

ML-based crash forecasting with billing, access control, and daily + live summaries.

Neighborhood Pulse

Real-time civic data transformed into an AI dashboard of neighborhood health.

"If it's worth doing, it's worth doing it right - and if it's worth doing it right, it's worth overdoing it."
Bias for correctness over cleverness. Small pieces, well-joined. Transparent from setup to ship.
