Ben Johnson
Intrepid translator, builder, and problem solver.
Education never stops. UVA ties its tradition of counting students by years to this Jeffersonian belief, and that mindset drives me. I get priorities straight, ask the better question, and keep building, because failure is where learning lives.
In two weeks of build time, I stood up a GTM Job Hunt platform on a multi-model AI stack. With a CRM, nine agents, and automated and human QA/QC, every real decision is mine. I built this website to show the demo and the evidence of my GTM methodology.
Talk is cheap. In this game, seeing is believing.
The storyboard behind the demo
Every demo I give starts as a storyboard: a frame, a key phrase, a transition, a benefit, the evidence and an open question. One row per chapter. Here is one.
Buying a new car: you research online, but you still go to the dealership and take the test drive.
• To camera, at the desk
• Buying a car is a major investment; so is hiring your sales engineering leader
• Sets up the test drive the rest of the video delivers
“Buying a new car is a major investment, very much like hiring the head of your sales engineering team is.”
The evidence
Six pieces of proof. Click any card for the detailed overview.
CRM
The Demo Deal Desk
48rows in a fictional register run like a CRM; every number on the page is computed when it loads.
9applications sent and 6 human replies — 67 percent of sends — read off the funnel the page builds from the rows.
1.1expected offers: each open deal times its status weight, recomputed every time the desk opens.

Governance
The Operating Contract
9agents the contract governs — the legwork is theirs, every call that matters is mine.
What the machine may do on its own, where it has to stop, who types what, and how the two AI models split the work.

The nine agents
- Morning intake briefing Reads the overnight job alerts, dedupes them against the register, stages new rows and writes a one-page brief of what matters today.
- Tracker bridge Every hour, reads staged writes and applies them to the tracker with no click; refuses duplicates and never overwrites a filled cell.
- Tracker rebuild Rebuilt the whole tracker in one pass: dashboard, scoring, tabs and formulas.
- Tracker repair The first repair script. The outage it caused is what produced the bridge’s second version. Retired.
- End-of-day sanity check Nightly audit: is the to-do still true, are the pointers current, does the tracker pass its checks, did the procedures run.
- Screen-recording sweep Copied new screen recordings into the evidence folder. Switched off after its first day.
- Resume parse check Runs the resume through the checks an applicant-tracking system does. Found a defect the day it was built.
- Launch check Nightly: does this site answer yet? When it does, it fills the held-back profile fields and switches itself off.
- Tracker quality-control script The mechanical audit the nightly check runs, so the check cannot skip a test or invent a finding.
