Kyle Rauch
L2 SaaS escalation operator · AI-tooling builder

I direct. AI implements.

Years in the L2 queue at AI-forward SaaS — sustained exposure to where customers hit walls. I build the local-first tools support, CS, and SE teams actually need, eval-driven and shipped.

Selected Works

Operator, builder, escalation engineer.

Customer-facing rigor combined with the engineering instinct to ship AI features that actually work — not demos, not slideware.

Customer trenches

Years in the L2 queue

Sustained exposure to where customers hit walls at AI-forward SaaS. I know what breaks because I've worked the queue, not because I read the support docs.

AI tooling

I direct, AI implements

Local-first agentic pipelines, multi-LLM provider abstractions, eval-driven prompt iteration. Tools I've shipped: triage, sourcing, account pulse, job-search orchestration.

Solutions engineering

From queue to architecture

Comfortable across the stack — Rust, TypeScript, Python, SQL. Security+ certified. FINRA 7/63 (lapsed) for financial-services context.
