Summary
Jake Decrane is a Principal Solutions Architect specializing in AI, cloud architecture, and enterprise platforms with 11 years of experience driving digital transformation for large enterprises. Based in Columbus, Ohio, he marries hands-on engineering—serverless, multi-account AWS architectures, CI/CD and automation—with strategic platform and governance design to deliver scalable, compliant systems. At AHEAD he led cloud security guardrails and a data-driven platform strategy for a $3T asset manager, turning governance metrics into actionable sprint planning. Previously at Trek10 and GE Aviation he built multi-tenant event bus platforms, resilient serverless data pipelines, and global performance optimizations that materially reduced cost and operational risk. Known for mentoring teams and influencing operational shifts, he combines technical depth with pragmatic product thinking to internalize IP and boost recurring revenue. Outside the obvious, he has a track record of documenting and automating infrastructure to make complex systems auditable and self-service for broader engineering teams.
