Rockstar🎓
Top SchoolJacob Prickett is a Principal Software Engineer with seven years of focused experience in mobile application development and infrastructure across retail and automotive/mobility sectors, currently driving engineering at Meijer. He has a strong track record at Ford leading iOS teams, launching global products like FordPass/Lincoln Way, and introducing engineering practices such as CI/CD, modularization, and the company’s first gRPC-based mobile streaming implementation that cut API calls dramatically. Jacob blends hands-on delivery—automating release workflows and building debugging and logging frameworks—with people leadership, mentoring engineers and growing teams. He pursues continuous learning through personal tech projects and applies that curiosity to pragmatic system improvements, and outside work he balances tinkering with family, dogs, hiking, and home projects.
