AI integration from a fractional forward-deployed engineer who ships in your stack. Agents that transact. Payments that settle. Creative work that carries proof. The protocols Suede AI builds on, explained by the person who wired them together.
AI integration comes first: AI agents built into the actual work, from call review, lead qualification and follow-up to operations and coding agents inside software teams. Second, SEO and AI search visibility, so the business is the one Google, ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini and Perplexity name. Third, PR: earned media, entity and citation work that answer engines read. All of it is delivered as a fractional forward-deployed engineer, embedded in the client’s team and tools and shipping in their stack, not handing over a deck.
Engineer first: 49 pull requests merged across 44 external repositories, including Jest, Adobe React Spectrum, Backstage and the Polkadot SDK, plus a Linux kernel USB/IP patch at v7.
Plain-language technical explainers for the protocol layer of the Suede stack. Written so that a developer can decide in five minutes whether a protocol fits, and a founder can understand why it was chosen.

Suede has worked in partnership with Google Cloud since September 2025, with a dedicated account team, a Google Premier Partner assigned to support the account, and migration of the stack onto the Vertex AI suite, including Gemini, Vertex AI Agent Builder, and Veo. The account team’s published quote calls Suede an ideal partner for promoting the Vertex suite.

A separate Linux kernel USB/IP contribution is recorded as Public upstream v7; it is not included in the merged-PR count.
