Rockstar🎓
Top SchoolJackson Taylor is a versatile software engineer and repeat founder based in the San Francisco Bay Area with a decade of experience building mobile and web products across iOS, macOS, PC, and backend stacks. He has held engineering and managerial roles at Meta while simultaneously co-founding startups like Spiritz App and Gathr Loyalty, demonstrating an ability to ship products at both scale and early-stage speed. His hands-on expertise includes Objective-C/Swift, C++, PHP, JavaScript, Unity 3D, and systems that handled high-throughput workloads during his Bevy and CTO stints. An active contributor to iOS open source—having enhanced the popular Spruce animation library with completion blocks, recursive subview handling, and Carthage support—he blends polish UI work with engineering rigor. Jackson pairs entrepreneurial instincts from running his own company (Jackson13.info) with research experience in code tokenization and machine learning from University of Richmond projects. He’s as comfortable optimizing animations and client apps as designing backend APIs and databases built for massive scale.
