Jackson Newhouse is a software engineer with seven years of experience building high-performance, distributed data systems and real-time analytics. He co-founded Arroyo (YC W23), the team behind a stateful stream processing engine later acquired by Cloudflare, and has repeatedly delivered multi‑order-of-magnitude performance and cost improvements across roles. At Quantcast he drove real-time and offline rearchitectures, migrated hundreds of pipelines to the cloud, and scaled datasets to trillions of facts; more recently he rebuilt vetting and creator sourcing systems and introduced agentic frameworks for LLM workflows. Based in San Francisco, he blends deep algorithmic and distributed-systems expertise with hands-on product execution across startups and established companies. Collected with a B.S. in Mathematics from Harvey Mudd College, he favors pragmatic, measurable optimizations that cut costs and boost reliability. An uncommon through-line in his career is shipping open, production-grade stream processing and analytics infrastructure that other teams and companies adopt.
