# Joe Wilson — Joe Wilson Builds

> Joe Wilson builds with AI. Thirty years in tech, twenty-seven at Microsoft. Weekly Bets with a CLAIM, a CLOCK, a COST and a VERDICT, the career file, and the résumé.

I'm Joe. Thirty years in tech — twenty-seven at Microsoft. Laid off twice in twelve months. The second time, I built a working AI tool the same night. Now I teach mid-career people to build something nobody can take from them.

## What this site holds

- The Bets (https://joewilson.ai/#bets): a weekly format from the YouTube channel Joe Wilson Builds (https://www.youtube.com/@joewilsonbuilds). Each Bet is a claim that can lose, with a CLAIM, a CLOCK, a COST and a VERDICT. The verdict is CONFIRMED or BUSTED by evidence, never by the host.
- The tank (https://joewilson.ai/#tank): the runway report, in months, never dollars. Report №1 lands December 1, 2026.
- The file (https://joewilson.ai/#file): the career record. Obey LLC and AI Builders Club (Independent AI Architect: persistent agents, Future Pruning), Rapsodo (Director of Customer Success), Microsoft (Customer Success Manager and AI Architect), AWS (Principal, Data Platforms), Microsoft 1998–2020.
- The résumé (https://joewilson.ai/resume): full résumé as HTML. Also https://joewilson.ai/resume.json (JSON Resume) and https://joewilson.ai/llms-full.txt (plain text, with every Bet in full).
- The Rapsodo case file (https://joewilson.ai/rapsodo).

## The Bets so far

- Bet №2: ObeyVision — PENDING. Claude reads a working photographer's whole archive like a second shooter and writes it into Lightroom as keywords, for a fifth of a cent a frame.
- Bet №1: Who's Hiring, 15 Years — CONFIRMED. In one sitting, Claude turns fifteen years of Hacker News hiring threads into a page a laid-off forty-five-year-old can actually use. Live: https://whoshiring.app/
