Summary
Jadzia Thomas is a software engineer and entrepreneur with a decade of experience building high-throughput distributed systems and consumer-facing ventures in the Bay Area. Former Twilio engineer and Hatch apprentice, she’s shipped Java (Dropwizard), PHP, and MySQL systems that processed billions of daily requests with five-nines reliability, and contributed across Rails, Node.js, React and Python stacks. Since moving from Chattanooga she’s blended technical leadership with community-building and events production, and co-founded Queer Wave Coffee, scaling ethically sourced mail-order sales into five-figure months. A Dev Bootcamp graduate and open-source contributor (including Twilio’s phonebank project), she pairs principled engineering opinions with a knack for fast learning and cross-functional collaboration. Unusually, her background ranges from sushi chef to truck driver to parent, which she cites as formative in problem solving, resilience, and people leadership.
