About
Ben Kruseski
AI Developer Intern @ JWX · RIT Software Engineering
I'm a Software Engineering student at the Rochester Institute of Technology who loves turning complex ideas into clean, scalable software. I'm passionate about backend systems, APIs, and data-driven development,especially where Python and AI intersect.
As an AI Developer Intern at JWX, I design tools that bridge data engineering and AI-driven automation,from a Gemini-powered code analyzer to a natural language interface for database querying, to an MCP-based RAG server for context-aware documentation.
Outside of work, I run a self-hosted Debian home lab with WireGuard VPN, AdGuard Home, a full mail stack, and CTSDeploy,my own auto-deployment system that pushes projects to live subdomains on benkruseski.com straight from GitHub.
Currently Working On
Expanding CTSDeploy with rollback and health checks, building out this portfolio, and deepening expertise in LLM tooling and MCP-based agentic systems.
