Rockstar🎓
Top SchoolJacob Lerche is a Senior Software Engineer in Portland with a decade of experience building cloud-native, distributed systems and databases across languages like Elixir, Erlang, Rust, Go, and Python. He has shipped production control-plane and streaming infrastructure at DataStax and built TiDB cloud tooling and clients at PingCAP, bringing deep familiarity with newSQL, Pulsar, and key-value stores. At HPE and Tubi he combined backend APIs, real-time Elixir/Phoenix services, and Kubernetes/operator work to bridge IoT, media, and platform concerns. Pragmatic and detail-oriented, he pairs systems-level thinking with hands-on implementation, from Rust microservices to Django tooling and CI/CD. His background in physics and biochemistry underpins a data-driven approach and an appetite for low-level, performance-sensitive problems.
