Top SchoolHenry Jackson is a Senior Engineer with eight years of experience building high-throughput, production-grade services across ad tech and podcast platforms. He has driven performance and scalability improvements in Go, Rust, and Python—developing APIs that handled hundreds of thousands of requests per second and porting legacy systems to reduce startup and execution times. At Spotify he progressed from Engineer I to Senior Engineer, delivering podcast forecasting, ad-serving, and Ads API features that increased forecasting accuracy by over 30% and sped responses by 20x. He combines backend systems work (Scala data pipelines, Postgres, Spring Boot) with frontend reporting components in TypeScript/React and practical automation that saved Ops measurable time. Based in the Louisville area, Henry brings a pragmatic focus on decomposing monoliths into event-driven microservices and shipping measurable reliability and performance gains. An engineer who crosses language boundaries fluidly, he favors systems-first solutions that improve both developer velocity and user-facing metrics.
