Jordan Liebling

Jordan is an AI enablement master. When I was struggling with Copilot's limitations in IntelliJ—it was only properly analyzing the currently open file—he suggested switching to the CLI or VS Code for better context awareness. I switched to the CLI and it significantly improved my agentic development velocity and capabilities.

Jordan pushed me to adopt GitHub Copilot early—when most teams were still copying code into browser tools—and has continued to stay ahead of the curve recommending innovative workflows. Recently, he helped me integrate Copilot-CLI with local AI memory via Obsidian, which has meaningfully enhanced both the quality and scope of my work. His recommendations are consistently months ahead of industry adoption, and they've made my workflow leaner and more productive.

Jordan is the reason Capitol Watch exists. He took the concept and turned it into a working product — writing the first line of code, building out the full stack, and standing up the infrastructure to support it. What set him apart was his ability to operate independently. If something was broken, he addressed it. If something was missing, he built it. He established a codebase and architecture that made it straightforward for other contributors to get involved and deliver meaningful work. Jordan was instrumental in kickstarting this project and raising the bar for everyone who came after him.
