Summary
Jake Bromberg is a Chief Software Engineer and founder with over a decade of hands-on experience designing high-performance mobile and full-stack systems. He built video rendering pipelines at Google powering Nest cameras—authoring custom TCP protocols, jitter-buffered playback, and Metal/OpenGL renderers—and now owns end-to-end architecture at Daisy's Guide, shipping a Flutter app, Next.js web frontend, 23 Supabase Edge Functions, pgvector semantic search, and Stripe payments. Comfortable across Swift, Objective-C, Rust, Python, and TypeScript, he blends low-level graphics and media engineering (Metal shaders, Video Toolbox) with scalable serverless patterns, type-safe API design, and observability. At WXYC he modernized legacy systems, achieved dramatic ETL speedups (180h→36m), and is building a graph-based semantic index from decades of music data. He favors pragmatic engineering practices—TDD, contract and parity testing, and migration validation—and brings a designer-collaborative approach to novel user experiences.
