Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolJack Hayford is an experienced software engineer based in New York with 11 years of building backend systems, cloud infrastructure, and developer tooling. He’s delivered end-to-end features and platform migrations—from monolith-to-service architectures to Kubernetes-based execution environments—while stepping into interim leadership roles to ship on tight timelines. At WayScript he single-handedly turned a self-hosted Terraform product from inception to first-client delivery in a month and helped migrate runtime and storage layers for persistent user files. His background spans fast-moving startups and high-impact contracts (including SpaceX), with hands-on work in Go, Python, Ruby, Node, EKS, Terraform, and service-oriented design. Jack pairs deep implementation chops with practical operational experience, often owning the full lifecycle from prototype to customer deployment. He brings a pattern-oriented mindset to scaling developer platforms and a knack for turning quick proofs-of-concept into production realities.
