About

Bio

I'm Jamil Jadallah — a product leader and platform strategist based in Austin, TX. I run The Jambot and co-founded Beyond The Alignment, where we study the semantic gap between intent and execution.

My work sits at the intersection of product strategy and platform execution: aligning what organizations intend to build with the systems that actually deliver it. I think in operating models, vocabulary, and the hidden coordination costs that slow teams down.

We hold US Patent 12,106,240 B2 for a method that analyzes project workflows to surface structural coordination costs in software systems.

Background

15+ years across financial services, federal defense, and high-growth SaaS — environments where product velocity and platform stability are business-critical. The pattern was consistent everywhere: product vision and platform capability must scale together.

Beyond The Alignment

Beyond The Alignment is the research and tooling side of the work.

Through large-scale GitHub analysis and workflow modeling, we study patterns that affect long-term delivery performance — including the Innovation Tax, the Iron Square, and the $2.30 threshold where maintenance burden begins to outpace innovation.

These concepts aren’t abstractions. They’re structural patterns that show up repeatedly across platform-backed systems.

Writing & Stories

Some ideas require prose. Others require structure.

I write long-form essays in the Writing section when the argument needs depth.

I build visual and interactive pieces when the idea needs a world — scroll-driven narratives, data visualizations, and structured storytelling inspired by creators like Jonathan Hickman.

The format serves the idea. If the structure doesn’t do work, it doesn’t belong.

Work With Me

If you're building or scaling a platform-backed product and need alignment between product strategy and platform execution, that’s the work I do.
