Jason Vallery
Founder; applied AI and cloud infrastructure architect
Jason is an applied AI and cloud infrastructure executive who is still hands-on in the editor. He spent 13 years at Microsoft on Azure Blob Storage, serving as the Azure-side product owner for OpenAI and Microsoft AI production storage workloads at multi-exabyte scale during the frontier AI training era. He now leads cloud product strategy at VAST Data across hyperscalers, GPU cloud providers, and AI infrastructure partners.
Verdify is where that experience becomes practical for customers: forward-deployed architecture, source-grounded knowledge systems, controlled AI workflows, scorecards, and implementation plans that survive contact with real operations. Jason built and operates Verdify Lab, the public AI-run greenhouse proof environment, to make the pattern inspectable instead of theoretical.
