👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolJacob Feisley is an entrepreneur and seasoned systems and security leader with 19 years of experience building and operating large-scale networks, cloud infrastructure, and embedded software. Currently SVP of Systems and Security in San Jose, he has a rare combination of hands-on engineering (C/C++, Python, networking, VMware) and operational productization, having founded and run Dark Horse Networks and Hydra Labs to deliver automated billing, captive portals, and network management across hundreds of square miles. His background includes leading systems and cloud operations at Appspace and engineering roles at Cisco where he drove virtualization, large-scale endpoint management, and transitions to modern development workflows. Jacob’s strength is translating complex networking and embedded requirements into automated, production-ready services—and he often builds the tooling himself rather than outsourcing it. He holds a BS in Computer Science from Purdue and brings entrepreneurial grit paired with deep technical breadth across wireless, ISP operations, and systems security.
