Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolJacob Dalton is a Lead AI Engineer with 13 years of hands-on software experience building platforms from the ground up and leading teams through large migrations and delivery transformations. He has led engineering at Avionté and Sentera, where he managed teams up to 16, containerized monoliths, rewrote CI/CD with GitHub Actions, and architected a git-like sync system and geospatially indexed GraphQL backends. A full-stack generalist with roots in creative writing and math, Jacob blends domain modeling, data pipelines, and pragmatic system design to lower costs and accelerate delivery. He grew up on a dairy farm, teaches himself across diverse stacks, and has a knack for connecting distant ideas—turning product spec sheets into declarative data models and performant services. Based in Minneapolis, he pairs executional leadership with a curiosity-driven approach to problem solving across cloud-native, microservices, and data-driven systems.
