I turn ambitious ideas into thoughtful software.
I’m Fate Jacobson—an engineer, formerly at Netflix, and the founder of Level Network.
Level Network
A social network designed to respect your attention.
Level costs $1 a month. You choose who to follow, and the main feed shows their posts in chronological order. There are no ads, and you won’t see like counts or follower counts. I built it end to end with AI agents. I make the product calls, direct the work across the full stack, and own what ships.
From working on parts of large systems to building a product end to end.

Each role taught me a different part of building software.
Level is where I got to put it all together.
How I see
I like when a few ordinary things line up just right.
In 2023, I started making little films out of moments like this—usually by holding the camera still and waiting for clouds, leaves, light, or a plane to move through the frame. That same instinct shows up in my software: get the structure right, then give the interesting parts room to breathe.

If you’re building something ambitious and care about how it gets made, I’d love to hear about it.
I’m building Level. I’m also open to roles and collaborations that are too interesting to ignore—especially around AI and consumer products.
