Biography
Yousof Almalkawi is a Jordanian engineer-operator and the founder and CEO of STEADYWRK — an AI-native dispatch and talent platform operated by STEADYWRK LLC out of Aqaba, Jordan.
Before STEADYWRK, Yousof spent four years running field service dispatch for North America’s largest facility management networks — Fortune 500 grocery, pharmacy, coffee, telecom, and bank portfolios — as a solo operator. He learned that the work is dispatch, not software; that billion-dollar FM networks still run on humans copy-pasting between eight tabs; and that the networks pay inside 48 hours when an operator actually reads the work order.
STEADYWRK is what he built after he got tired of being the spreadsheet. Eleven agents run the machine; Yousof runs the agents. Fortune 500 sites still get dispatched — now from Aqaba, at 3am, with the technician onsite before a VC-funded FSM competitor has replied to the intake form.
STEADYWRK was accepted into the Anthropic Partner Network in April 2026 (initial review cleared via Karl Kadon’s team). The product line is MCP-compatible by default, publishes live evals, and ships a canonical-metrics registry so every public claim is traceable — a deliberate stance against the fabricated-number culture common in hiring-tech and FSM.

Cleared initial review April 2026. STEADYWRK builds on Claude — Anthropic models power dispatch decisions, intake triage, and the Maestro operator layer.
Model Context Protocol (MCP)
STEADYWRK ships an MCP-compatible dispatch server and publishes tool specs publicly — part of an AI-native stance on interoperability.
MENA-native operator
Aqaba-based engineering team, US-facing field service operations. Structured remote talent pipeline for engineering, operations, and applied AI roles.
Focus areas
- Agentic operations for critical field work (Dispatch Engine, Talent Fabric, Trust Rail).
- Autonomous software systems: multi-agent orchestration, model routing, memory architectures.
- AI-native talent placement — MENA engineering talent into US and allied markets.
- Model Context Protocol — tool-level interoperability between agents and third-party systems.
- Public evals + canonical metrics — traceable claims over fabricated numbers.
Operating principles
Work is dispatch, not software.
Software that does not dispatch is theater. Ship the operator, not the dashboard.
Velocity is the moat.
Every commit widens the gap. Stamp everything in Aqaba time and let the log speak for itself.
Receipts over narrative.
No raise, no puffed metrics, no fabricated case studies. Canonical metrics registry or nothing.
MENA talent, global work.
Jordan produces the engineers. The world runs the work orders. Build the bridge.
