Top SchoolJacob Scott is a seasoned software engineer with 11 years of experience building resilient, large-scale systems from startups to major platforms, currently driving ML/AI infrastructure at a prominent AI company. Previously a Staff Engineer at Stripe, he focused on the intersection of safety science and socio-technical systems to keep critical services reliable.
