JAKEJERRARD

Engineer with 12+ years of experience designing and scaling data-intensive products across financial services and real estate, including foundational work at a high-growth startup.

I build end-to-end systems, from ingesting and shaping large, messy datasets to transformation layers, APIs, and application features. My work has spanned hundreds of data sources, large-scale pipelines, AI-assisted product workflows, and platforms that process trillions of records in support of real financial decisions.

Originally trained in biology, I approach engineering with a scientific mindset: understand the system, test assumptions, and follow the evidence. I’m comfortable getting dropped into unfamiliar problems, figuring out what matters quickly, and driving the work through with a high bar for quality.
