Rockstar🎓
Top SchoolJake Gordon is a principal engineer and independent consultant in Portland, Oregon with 15 years of experience designing and shipping cloud-native platforms, AI-driven products, and developer-facing services. He has a track record as a founding engineer and architect—building production systems from microservice platforms and CI/CD on Kubernetes to AI/LLM-powered audio experiences, enterprise collaboration tools, and public-facing emergency feeds. Comfortable across Python, Go, Elixir, Typescript, and AWS, he pairs hands-on implementation with team building, recruitment, and cross-functional leadership. His work spans startups and large enterprises, from Kevala’s caregiver scheduling platform to EagleView’s imagery-to-SaaS transformation, and includes occasional indie game projects that reveal a taste for playful technical craft. Notably, he repeatedly turns domain complexity into pragmatic, maintainable systems and enjoys shipping both customer-facing features and the infrastructure that keeps them reliable.
