Senior🎓
Top SchoolJacob Windsor is an associate director and full-stack technical leader with 11 years of experience building scalable data and engineering teams and architectures across biotech and startup environments. Based in Barcelona, he blends domain expertise in bioinformatics with hands-on engineering—having helped ingest and coordinate terabytes of Human Cell Atlas data using microservices, Kubernetes, and observability tooling. He has led modernizations from CI/CD and front-end stacks to domain-driven design patterns, and at a Kleiner Perkins–backed seed startup he married AI-driven tools with classical engineering practices to accelerate scientific research. Jacob is comfortable shipping across the stack (React, TypeScript, Java, Python, NestJS) while mentoring engineers on design patterns and operational best practices. A former bioinformatics researcher and author of sequencing tooling, he brings a rare mix of life-science rigor and pragmatic software delivery.
