We've built, scaled, and sold businesses. We understand the chaos of operations because we've lived it. Now we help others transform their operational strain into competitive advantage.

Jon is the founder and lead developer at 64 Robots, a premier software agency based in Baltimore that grew to several million in ARR over 10 years. He's spent a decade shipping enterprise-grade web platforms for startups and Fortune 500 companies alike.
A self-taught developer with a PhD in Human Genetics from Johns Hopkins, Jon brings a unique blend of scientific rigor and technical execution. He's built several custom AI systems that have replaced hundreds of hours of manual work and created entirely new business opportunities for clients.
His work spans AI-powered content generation systems that achieve 3x higher engagement, automated RFP processing pipelines, real estate data platforms, and RAG-based knowledge systems. Jon doesn't just understand AI technically—he's shipping production systems with it and seeing firsthand what delivers ROI versus what's just hype.
"The best automation systems aren't about replacing humans—they're about removing the tedious work so your team can focus on what actually drives the business forward."
Between us, we've built businesses from zero to millions in revenue, managed complex operations across multiple continents, and implemented countless systems that either worked brilliantly or failed spectacularly.
We started Cohesive Lab because we kept seeing the same pattern: brilliant founders and operators drowning in operational chaos, knowing they needed to automate and leverage AI, but unsure where to start or how to measure success.
Generic consultants hand you strategy decks. Software agencies build what you ask for without questioning if it's the right thing. We do neither.
We map your operations, calculate actual ROI, and build systems that pay for themselves. We bring both the operational experience to know what matters and the technical chops to make it real.
We're selective about who we work with—we only take on projects where we know we can deliver 10x ROI. If that sounds like your kind of partnership, let's chat.
