Summary
Jacob Brenneman is an engineering manager with 11 years of experience building and shipping full‑stack applications across healthcare, retail and fintech from Cleveland, Ohio. He has a track record of scaling small teams into high‑impact product groups—leading delivery at DebtBook to expand cash management offerings and later driving platform and design system adoption. Technically hands‑on, Jacob has implemented observability, CI/CD, background processing, and introduced TypeScript and React design systems to improve reliability and developer experience. He thrives on solving hard problems alongside goal‑oriented teams and pairs product thinking with measurable success metrics and tripwires to ensure value. Notably, his background spans both startup and larger org contexts (Stitch Fix promotions through lead roles) and includes IoT‑adjacent healthcare work that informed his approach to robust, monitored systems.
